    How to tell if it's from Yahoo

    1 - ALL emails regarding your account will be from an @cc.yahoo-inc.com address, NEVER @yahoo.com or anything else

    2 - ALL emails from Yahoo will ALWAYS have a purple Y! logo to the left of the sender’s name in your Inbox and when you hover over the Y with your mouse it will say “This is a verified message from Yahoo!”

    3 - ALL emails regarding your account will always address you by your name (i.e. Dear John, Dear Mary), never a generic greeting (Dear Customer, Dear Yahoo Account Holder, Dear Valid User, etc), your email address or no greeting at all

    4 - Yahoo will NEVER ask for any personal details in an email and will never ask you to click on a link to ‘verify’ or ‘validate’ or ‘update’ or ‘upgrade’ your account.

    I see what you mean. I didn't get BA either. <glaring> I hope you spent Valentine's Day with someone you care about. Tell your right hand I said ciao.
