Total scam. The fact it was written unprofessionally was your first clue. Also, you should NEVER send a password over email. Type in the name of the Website yourself, never click on a link in the email.

Of course, Yahoo will turn down Microsoft's offer, so Yahoo won't be changing much soon because of it.

That message you got is nothing but a phishing scam. Don't click on the link and give the phishers your Y! ID and other related personal info, as this will give them the opportunity to tamper with your account. They can change the password in an effort to deny access into your Y! account.

Please remember that Y! doesn't ever send you an email to verify your account information, as it already has that information stored internally in its servers.

Send the email to the following addresses:

phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com

mail-spoof@cc.yahoo-inc.com

Then give the fraudulent message the spam "heave-ho" into the garbage.

Definitely a scam!!!

Forward the email to Yahoo! right away.

Do a check on the I.P. address before you do and it will probably tell you the location from where the email originated.

DO NOT reply. This is a phishing scam attempting to get you to give them all your personal info. It's not from Yahoo, just delete it and ignore it. Good luck and be careful.

That is SO a scam. I got a letter saying yahoo was closing down in my proflie the other day.

NO, never give out your password or ID.There are all kinds of scams going around to collect peoples ID's.

That is a scam. Yahoo! will never contact you and ask your for the information. They already have it on file. You should report it to security.

To report a phishing email, please forward the email to phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com.
