How do I update my information on my email account?

I have received an email that asks me to update my account giving my information as well as my password ?

• This cannot be legitmate as it states if I do not answer within two weeks my account will be shut down. I use it every day and I don't know why I have to update. Hurry and answer please. Is this a scam??

• Answer:

  It certainly is a phishing scam. That message will ask you to give the phishers your personal information. Don't give that to them, no matter what that "bogus" email told you to do. Doing so will result in giving the phishers behind this foolishness to access to your account. They can quickly change the password, denying you access to it. You need to remember Y! doesn't ever send you an email to verify your account information, as the company already has that stored in its secured servers. Forward that message to the following addresses: [email protected] [email protected] Then turn around and give the message the well-deserved spam "heave-ho" into the garbage and leave it be. By doing as I told you, this will keep your account safe and out of the hands of the phishers in charge of this foolishness. I hope this should help you out.
