Did yahoo send the following email or is it a spam? please respond at arati9876@yahoo.com?

I believe the message below could be a spam...


1) Notice that the "TO" field says "toniboyinlove..." .


2) I would not think that Yahoo would ask the account holders to verify their personal info by submitting replies in the email. They would be checking that on-line...





Please send me an email to verify if it is genuine yahoo email.


If it is genuine, I must verify the info in 3 days!


Thanks


ASY

This is called spoofing or phishing. Ultimately, the spammer hopes you will fall for this and give them your logon id and password. Lots of people fall for this, then wonder how spam comes from their own mailbox. If you received an email impersonating Yahoo! and would like to report it please forward the email to:


mail-spoof@cc.yahoo-inc.com. If you have already been tricked into giving your password, please visit

and follow the instructions there. Also:
