euca Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 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.

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

Pib Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) 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. Edited June 14, 2016 by Pib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberfarang Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
