I have recieved an email in my bulk account from"Yahoo Customer Care" requesting my password, user name, date of birth and country of origin. Since it appeared in my bulk folder I am concerned about giving out this info. I am not very computer savy and tried contacting Yahoo for help which is a joke. Can someone tell me if this is real or a scam?
Is this email from Yahoo legitimate or spam?
It's a phishing email, so you better not click on the link and give the phishers your personal information. Doing so will cause the phishers to change the password and control your account, denying you access to it in the process.
Forward the message to the following addresses:
phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com
mail-spoof@cc.yahoo-inc.com
Then turn around and give the message the well-deserved spam "heave-ho" into the garbage.
Remember that Y! doesn't ever send you an email to verify your account, as this is already stored in the company's servers. By doing what I told you above, you'll end up outsmarting the phishers and keeping your Y! account out of their hands.
Reply:It's a thief try to steal from you. Once they have that information they can get into you computer files and hence all information stored on your computer.
Reply:CON!!! SPAM!! FRAUD!! There is no way, even for Yahoo, that they would ever ask you for your password. Report the sender as possible fraud, Spam at the very least, to Yahoo right away!! DO NOT RESPOND IN ANY WAY TO THE EMAIL!! Hope this helps!!
Reply:Yahoo will never ask you for your password.
Reply:this is a spam, no one would ever request your password,not even the yahoo staff
this is a phishing scam so they can get into your account,change the password and then lock you out of your account

Reply:Delete it. It's a SCAM. Yahoo does NOT operate like that.
