I received a "YAHOO ALERT" to my email today. But it was dated for yesterday at 5pm.?
It requires me to impute all my info into the a reply portion and send it back to a the generator. Is this for real or is it a scam. It says it is to get rid of all the unused Yahoo accounts. Well my account is not unused so I am a little confused.

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.

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 your money, or both!
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.
