How can I unlink my Facebook account from a closed Yahoo account?

Does anyone know if this UPDATE YOUR YAHOO ACCOUNT NOW OR IT WILL BE CLOSED is valid? I've received it twice.

  • When I tried to reply the email of customerservice@yahoo is invalid and comes back with MAILER-DAEMON@ yahoo.com It says it is from Yahoomemberservice and my family hasn't received it. Inside the email is says Dear Account User, Account Alert! Verify your free Yahoo account now.This message is from yahoo message center to all yahoo free account owners and premium account owners. We are currently upgrading our data base and e-mail account center. We are deleting all unused yahoo account to create more space for new accounts. To prevent your account from been blocked, you will have to update it below so that we will know that it's a present used account.You also have to upgrade you to a premium user and we would mail you for current promos and information on yahoo as there would be alot to get for free this year. Anyone else getting this email and is it valid and if so, then why after I updated my account last week are they sending it to me again? Is it a virus? PLZ HELP

  • Answer:

    don't worry, if you have already updated it then you are fine, i think this might just have been a mistake that they sent you, or to make sure you acknowledge what they might do if you don't update your email account

This is someone Phishing for your info. DO NOT REPLY. Contact Yahoo if you've already done so to protect your account information.

Looks like phishing to me. Get a phishing filter for your browser if you are not too smart about checking those. Or log in to my.yahoo.com by typing it in your browser, if they want to tell you anything they'll do it on the screen when you log in. Edit to add: It is a common "phishing" practice (obtaining personal information by deception) to ask you to "update" an account by an email. You'll find these for eBay, Paypal, even for bank accounts in countries you've never set foot in let alone lived in. The scam can look very realistic. The link will go to a page with graphics on that are "hot linked" (i.e. taken directly from the server it is trying to impersonate) and will look very similar to what you are expecting. Even the URL (the address) looks realistic. In the email it will even mask the address and show you yahoo.com but when you go to the page it could say yahooaccountsinc.com or something similar. Anyone can buy a domain that looks like that. Have a read about phishing, and use the many tools that have been made available to you in the latest browsers, toolbars and operating systems. Firefox 2 and IE7 both include phishing filters which stop access to known or apparent dodgy pages.
