I have received a message from inc@live.com claiming to be yahoo, demanding password, YOUR OPINION ?

if the email were actually form yahoo, then shoudn't it have a yahoo email address?

Complete scam... no website will ever request that you send them your username or password. If the website is sending you an email, they also have your username. They have no need for your password.

It is surprisingly simple to send an email under any email address you want. Making an email look official is the more difficult part, but is by no means hard either.

Remember.. never give out your password

That obviously isn't yahoo. They would never ask for your password because they already h ave it on database. Furthermore, they can't just remove your account for that even if it was yahoo. Also, it's @live which is hotmail.

My advice - don't do it mark as junk do anything but give it.

(I didnt get this email either)

I believe it is a very bad idea to respond to this email. It is a nasty scam that will cause you lots of trouble if you do what they ask.

Hint: Yahoo would not be writing from live.com

Hint: Yahoo HAS your username and password.

Don`t fall for it, no official company like yahoo would ever ask you for your password then threaten to close your account if you dont give it to them.

I would reply to that email and say... F***K YOU!!

This is a known 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.

id reply with

user Id, your a tw@T

password f!!k off

and as someone else mentioned if it was an offical yahoo email they wouldnt be using @live to send it, they would come from @yahoo

Just ignore it and let it cancel, if real. Send it to Yahoo for verification.

Got the same one, spammed it straight away.

No reputable company will ask for details like that.

Its fake dont give any info at all yahoo just dont do it delete it and bar it
