  • Answer:

    Yahoo would not ask you for your personal information in an E-mail like that. It is a scam to get your personal information and/or your money, or both! Do not respond to it. Report it, forward it to the FTC at [email protected] and to the abuse desk of the sender's ISP. For yahoo, report them here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ya... Choose Fraud as the reason for the violation you're reporting on. Also, if the E-mail appears to be impersonating a bank or other company or organization, forward the message to the actual organization.
