This is just a spoof message, it's not true.
Reply:I don't believe this.....They would not need for anyone to forward an email from them. I think this is a Hoax.
Reply:I didn't receive such notifications.
Reply:100% SCAM. Yahoo is the largest email service on the planet. And they are growing. Why would they close down? (By the way, the grammar in the email is not what would be expected from a professional organization like Yahoo. So that alone is enough to tell me it is a scam.)
Reply:Mmmmm,





I haven't received a letter like that before, but I should take action about this. There have been many reports about the increasing amounts of users, even as we speak. I can't trust you right now, but then again, this still needs to be considered.





The same thing is also happening right now in other foroum websties. The problem what the staff discovered is that one creates multiple accounts, and it is getting out of hand. Perhaps the staff is taking new ways or approaches to try and solve the problem.





I'll look at this question further, and I'll see if this is real, or just a glitch or something.
Reply:That is the dumbest thing ever. Yahoo!'s network in only second in the world to Google's. As if Yahoo! can't spend $120 for a 500GB drive for user account storage. Haha. People fall for the dumbest stuff.
