  Report it to Yahoo at http://abuse.yahoo.com. PHIS-HING SCAMS: This is a well know phis-hing scam. They just want to gain your confidence. They are trying to trick you into sending them money. These deceptive emails are used to commit identity theft. They will max out your credit cards, empty your bank accounts, read your email, and lock you out of your on-line account by changing your password. Never open, click on a link or respond to email like this. Check the box next to it, go to the top of the email page and click the "Spam" button. Set up your Spam Protection: 1. Click on the "Options" link in the upper right of your yahoo mail page. 2. Click on "Spam Protection", fill out the form and click the "Save Changes" link. Once you have this set up, each time you see spam or mail that you want to block, check the box next to it, go to the top of the email list and click the "Spam" button. Note: Every message you report trains your Spam Guard filters to work better for you. The messages you select in this way will be deleted and reported as spam. The senders of the messages will be added to your "Blocked Addresses" list. Most important, take this name out of your Contact list. Yours and your daughters.
