No, don't give any information out! If it were through Yahoo services they could access that information themselves. They can also tell who's actually been using the services because it's catalogued in their systems. NEVER send out information. Don't even reply to them. More often than not it's a virus or a scam.

Yahoo will never do that. it is a scam. Don't take the bait from phishing scams: Use a sign-in seal
this is from yahoo...http://security.yahoo.com/article_privacy.html
"Fraudsters send fake emails or set up fake web sites that mimic Yahoo!'s sign-in pages (or the sign-in pages of other trusted companies, such as eBay or PayPal) to trick you into disclosing your user name and password. This practice is sometimes referred to as "phishing" — a play on the word "fishing" — because the fraudster is fishing for your private account information. "

You are wise not to trust it. Don't send any information. Yahoo, eBay, etc. will never ask you to update your account.
