• 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 Yahoo doesn't send unsolicited emails to all its users, as the company already has that stored in its well-secured servers. Go here to report the message to Customer Care: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/abuse.html Choose Password Phishing as the reason for the violation you're reporting on. Alternatively, you can also forward it to them-unedited and with full headers-at the following address: [email protected] After that, get it deleted without delay.
