Is this real did anyone else get this message? i am worried about this message and don't want to respond just in case. Please i would like to talk to an administor or something to confirm this because it seems very unlikely that a massive company like yahoo would use a reply mailing system with "Fill this out" instead of "Enter Here".
Please Star this if you think this is important.
were they ask for the username,password, etc... it is just simply typed out.

That is what is known as a phishing email to get your account info & should be reported to Yahoo Security so they can track the IP & take appropriate action*

A friend of mine had an old account deleted and a message somewhat like that was sent to him. Yahoo calls it cleaning house. The un used accounts just block up everything and cause things to run slower or mess up more.

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 will NEVER ask for your password in an email. EVER. They tell us this over and over. This is a phishing request. SPAM it.

it is a hoax. i received the exact email. even the same case number. forward the email to phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com so yahoo can track these people.
