A timely Reminder: Warning Member Service. - Bogus Yahoo email

I received this morning an email from "Yahoo" titled Member Service.

"Yahoo is shuting down all Unverified/Unused account within 48hours due to the conjestion of all unsued email account, Verify Your account now by filling out all below informations,Failure to do this your Yahoo! email account would be deactivated without any further notice."

It then asks for your user name, password, date of birth and country of residence.

Delete this email. Do not click on any links and do not fill out any of the information. For a start yahoo would never send this sort of email asking for those details. Other indications it is a scam are the number of spelling and grammatical mistakes in the email.


People are still fooled by these sorts of emails. Don't let yourself be the next
