• Answer:

  SCAM That's NOT from Yahoo, it's a phishing scam to hack your account 1 - ALL emails regarding your account will be from an @cc.yahoo-inc.com address, NEVER @yahoo.com or anything else 2 - ALL emails regarding your account will ALWAYS have a purple Y! logo to the left of the sender’s name in your Inbox and when you hover over the Y with your mouse it will say “This is a verified message from Yahoo!” 3 - ALL emails regarding your account will always address you by your name (i.e. Dear John, Dear Mary), never a generic greeting (Dear Customer, Dear Yahoo Account Holder, Dear Valid User, etc), your email address or no greeting at all 4 - Yahoo will NEVER ask for any personal details in an email and will never ask you to click on a link to ‘verify’ or ‘validate’ or ‘update’ or ‘upgrade’ your account. 5 - Yahoo mail has 1TB of storage space. If you were anywhere near the limit you would not be asked to validate your mail. You would be told to delete old mail to free up space. Yahoo has even said that NO user of Yahoo Mail has ever come close to the 1TB limit http://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-yahoo-email-1-tb-storage-unlimited-20131008,0,5948465.story#axzz2rRrNsTMi "The company said that no user of the free version of Yahoo Mail has ever filled up 1 terabyte of space." 6 – Yahoo does not close accounts unless there has been NO activity on the account for more than 6 months, As long as you check your email at least once every 6 months, it will not be closed by Yahoo Mark as Spam > Report a Phishing Scam so it gets reported to Yahoo and they can shut down that account
