Was an email sent by Yahoo Account Management?

Was an email sent to all users for verification of account use? I have an email from Yahoo Account Management Yahoo with the following message:

There are many grammatical errors which made me wonder if this was a legitimate email from Yahoo. Please confirm.

Have a nice day! :)|||No, Cynthia, 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 money.


Do not respond to it.


Report it, forward it to the FTC at spam@uce.gov 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.|||This is one of many hoaxes doing the rounds. If you put the key words into a search engine like google for example then it will give you the details etc of the hoax. Ignore this email and any similar ones you might receive and report the hoax to your email provider as spam or phishing or both, that's what I do.|||There is a scam going around to members of all the email services asking for an ID and Password to continue the account. An email provider will NEVER ask for a password in an email for an account. Ignore it.





Never trust the FROM address. They can be faked.
