That's a phishing email. Whatever you do, don't reply to the message and give the phishers your personal information. Doing so will cause the phishers to quickly change the password, denying you access to your own account. Many people lose their Y! accounts by falling for this trick, so don't be the next one to lose yours in that manner.





You need to remember Y! doesn't ever send you an email to verify your account information, as the company already has that stored in its well-secured servers.





Send the message to the following addresses:


phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com


mail-spoof@cc.yahoo-inc.com


Then turn around and spam that fraud message spammed straight into oblivion right away.





By doing as I instructed, you will have kept your Y! account free from the phishers' hands.

Reply:100% scam. First of all, if it was really from yahoo, they wouldn't adress you as "account user". And there's a very simple test to prove it. I sent a blank email to servicecenter@yahoo.com and today I received an email that said my email was not delievered. That was just because there's no such email address.
Reply:How many times have you heard that you NEVER EVER EVER send your password?





Didn't the phrase "we are having congestions" make you think this what written by some illiterate monkey who wants to rip you off?
Reply:Never give out information like that aas they will have access to your stuff
Reply:No. Report it to Yahoo. If it were really from them they'd use your name.
Reply:This is a scam. Send it to yahoo. They will never ask for your password.
