    If you have been contacted by someone about your Yahoo! account asking for a password, birthdate or other personal information, please forward the email to mail-spoof@cc.yahoo-inc.com. Please include the full headers and the HTML source code of the email you received.

    No. It happened to me. It's a scam, do not give out any information, send the email and link to yahoo.

    Spam - do not reply. Nobody needs your passwords. Maybe change it just in case.
