Beware. Looks like Yahoo email is being spammed.

If you get an email asking for your username, password, and reconfirm password, look up the Yahoo support number and call it BEFORE responding to the email.

Any email asking for a password will be bogus.

...they would never ask me for my password in an email.

I assume that's still their policy. And even if it wasn't anymore, I still wouldn't give it up. Because now that's MY policy.

EDIT: Oh and by the way, thanks for the heads-up. Good looking out.
