Is this e-mail from "yahoo" legit?

It is a scam. Yahoo would not ask you for your personal information in an E-mail like that.

It is a scam to get your personal information and/or money.

Do not respond to it.

Report it, forward it to the FTC at spam@uce.gov and to the abuse desk of the sender's ISP.

For yahoo, report them here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ya...

Choose Fraud as the reason for the violation you're reporting on.

Also, if the E-mail appears to be impersonating a bank or other company or organization, forward the message to the actual organization.

It's a scam (((mom 2-2))).

The spelling errors are pretty funny eh?

I also received a similar one from "Bank of America" asking for personal information.

Thing is, I don't even have an account with Bank of America..

Put the cursor over the "link" without clicking on it, and look at the address that shows. If it has a "tw" at the end of it, it is fraudulent, as that is a spammer in Taiwan that is phishing for info you might be willing to give to achieve reinstatement. BEWARE!

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.

I've received texts on my cell phone that were supposedly from Bank of America, too.

Obviously fake.

Do NOT send any information!!

I didn't, but you SHOULD NOT reply without personally contacting Yahoo Support. Let them know that you received such an e-mail. If they really did send that, they will let u know.

it's a scam no website ever anywhere will ask you for your password in an e-mail, plus yahoo would use better english, also subscribers can't introduce viruses

It's not a real email, the real Yahoo Team would ask you for your social security number, bank account, mother's maiden name, a major credit card, and your ATM PIN number. After getting all the needed info, THEY would send you a virus. So you see, you are perfectly safe. Go ahead and give out your password.

I didn't get one, and that is in no way from Yahoo. What is the email address you're supposed to reply to?

Contact Yahoo using their website and inquire.
