Can you use Sbcglobal and Yahoo interchangeably for the same base email?

I received an email from "[email protected]"... Is this for real?

• The following email subject is "Provide login details to keep your account active" it is from "[email protected]". Here is a copy of the email that I received... "Dear Yahoo email user, This message is from Account Webmaster messaging center to all yahoo account owners. We are currently upgrading our data base and e-mail account center. We are deleting all unused email account to create more space for new accounts. To prevent your account from closing you will have to update it below so that we will know that it's a present used account.

• Answer:

  Scam!!!! That's a phishing email. Don't reply to the message and give out your personal information to total strangers or you'll risk losing your account to them. Remember that Y! doesn't send unsolicited emails to all its users, as the company already has that stored in its well-secured servers. Go report the message here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/abuse.html Choose Fraud as the reason for the violation you're reporting on. After that, spam it straight into oblivion without delay.
