YAHOO ACCOUNT INFO (Phishing Scam, Supposedly From Yahoo)

Well, here we go again! Another phishing scam, using almost the same wording and stupidity as the previous post. Stupidity, because the sender's return address is from a "live" (MSN) address. So if you receive this, remember that Yahoo never sends out random e-mails, and they know which "subscriber" is which, as well as using your name. Delete and don't reply!

Dear Yahoo! Account user ,





Yahoo will be officially closing Yahoo! Accounts. Due to congestion in the Yahoo system database and also terminate of all unused Yahoo Account, both Premium and Free account service. Until then, we are offering you the opportunity to update your account information. You will need to take action before we close, after which any account both Premium and Free account remaining on Yahoo! Database will be permanently deleted and no longer accessible.




Update your Yahoo! Account, below in order to continue enjoying Yahoo services as normal:

Name:.................................................
