do any of you have a yahoo email account? I keep getting something from yahoo asking me to verify that I'm real. I don't want to click the link because I recall once before seeing something there that said they would never do that. Have any of you guys gotten this email. I'm worried it's a virus.

I just tried to access my Yahoo email and since I hadn't accessed it for the past 4 months it was closed. Maybe that is what your email is about?

Don't click, and send it on to yahoo to whatever department they have to report spoof or phishing emails.

You probably got one of those, ebay and paypal are constantly being used in this way, these emails keep getting sent out in their names, and telling you to click on the link to update. I send at least 2 or 3 a week on to them, they're always fraudulent.

Don't click it, and forward on the email, they'll reply to you pretty quickly to let you know if it's fake or not.

No, I haven't had the Yahoo e-mail, it is more than likely
an attempt to get your private info.

I have had the "are you a real person", when I forwarded a
lot of stuff, one after the other. that is to stop the spam, you have to read something that I can't even see
part of the time.

I always have trouble opening the box, since they upgraded,
but have figured out that if they play the "please retype the password", if you click the "sign in as a different
user" button, and do the sign in, it will go right on through.

For some of the OBL photos, that no one has the room for,
why not use the Yahoo mailboxes to store them in?
