Today received email entitled: "Yahoo Account Termination Notice!!"

seems to be from "Yahoo Mail<[email protected]>"

demanding "Upgrade to YahooMail7.1 or be closed down according to

provision 17.9 of T&Cs".

Was then invited to give them my email addr & password.

Doesn't Yahoo undertake never to ask for a password???

Thoughts from the experts, please.

The @greatbrandsng.com email address is already a Dead Giveaway !

Spam / Phishing attempt

Edit: Yahoo and other LEGIT companies will NEVER ask your password, but it's very good that you are cautious !!

One of the million scams on the net...

If you use yahoo.com, you deserve to be scammed.

Follow me and I will make you phishers of men

If you use yahoo.com, you deserve to be scammed.

Silly and utterly useless comment. And no, I'm not a Yahoo user.

If you use yahoo.com, you deserve to be scammed.

No you do not

If you use yahoo.com, you deserve to be scammed.

Nothing useful to contribute...........

Gosh, around once a month I get some email saying I need to logon to one or my many accounts, be it an email account, a bank account, etc., by clicking a certain link contained in the email otherwise the account will be deactivated or I'll lose out on some great deal. Or just getting junk email trying to sell you something.

Fortunately, around 99% of the time those scam and junk emails are immediately placed in my gmail Spam folder which I take a look at ever week or so to ensure no "good" email got sent there by mistake....then I empty that Spam folder. I can not fault gmail on its ability to separate out spam email.

Just delete it , when are google going to stop this crap , if i ran a business full of scams im pretty sure it would be shut down.

I receive messages these types several times a week, including some apparently from my bank asking for passwords.

Banks and email providers never send out messages requesting user names and passwords. So just delete them.
