  • Answer:

    This sound a lot like a scam. Someone trying to get your password. Yahoo already has your password.. It shouldn't need to ask for it. What's the email address it came from?

Thats a classic scam. Yahoo! will never ask you for personal information (password, mail adress, and everything under Member Info). DON'T RESPOND. Just delete it and forget that anybody ever sent it.
