There is someone sending out e-mails pretending to be Yahoo. It will come as a e-mail from [email protected]. This is not Yahoo. It is a scammer trying to get credit card numbers from unsuspecting victims. The link you open does look legite except for it will not be a secure page. Meaning the header will not be "https" it will only be "http"
I contacted Yahoo and they did actually reply telling me that the e-mail DID NOT come from Yahoo. Here is a copy of the response.
> After careful evaluation, we have determined that this email message did not actually originate from the Yahoo! Mail system.
It appears that the sender of this message forged the header information to give the impression that it derived from the Yahoo! Mail system.
Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Customer Care.

I received a similar scam email only it was from "[email protected]". They wanted all my account info including credit card number and passwords because they claimed they were changing security methods and if I did not reply my account at Yahoo! would be closed. I notified Yahoo! and they said they did not send the email.
