  • Answer:

    This email has been going around. It is a Scam to get all your personal info. Yahoo would never ask you for your personal info. Never answer anything like this. Always hit the delete button. Hope this helps!!!

Absolutely not! 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.
