    They're trying to scam your username and password. What I usually do in a case like this is send them bogus information, like Beavis for a username and kissmy@ss for a password.

    This sounds like a fake. Yahoo wouldn't never ask you for your username and password. I would delete it right away.

    It is a phishing scam. If yahoo wants your email address and password they don't need you to give it. Don't give any info.
