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

Is Yahoo sending this email to everyone?

  • Answer:

    100% SCAM. It's very easy to tell 1 - Look at your Inbox. If there is not a purple Y! logo next to the message, it's not from Yahoo 2 - yahoo will NEVER address you by a generic greeting or email address. They ALWAYS use your first and last name 3 - Yahoo ALWAYS spells their name Yahoo! with the exclamation point - this is not from Yahoo 4 - Yahoo will NEVER ask for any personal information in an email. They have your full name from when you registered. And they have your user ID and password every time you log in This is a long running phishing scam

I think it is a scam, I never saw it... Also if you have the new mail you may wan to save this info. Maybe this can help you, I use Internet Explorer and could not find a solution to switch back to Classic Mail permanently after 2 days of pulling my hair out lots of problems! I have not found links work permanently, I went to CONTACT YAHOO CUSTOMER CARE, then clicked on LIVE CHAT, told them my old computer can not handle it, and they switched me back 5 to10 min. total, no problem, and they do not prompt me to switch anymore! You can also call Yahoo USA, but you will wait forever! 1-866-562-7219. Don’t forget to vote for best answer. Anyway Good Luck!
