I just received 2 email regarding this email from customer.dept@yahoo.com in my account which says in the subject "FINAL WARNING UPDATE YOUR ACCOUNT TO AVOID DEACTIVATION" in the message they said that they have detected a slight error in your contact information. with such reason they said and then there is "Click here to Re-Activate" and then you will see there is a logo of yahoo that you will make believe for haven't familiar with the scam/phishing and spam. that this is from yahoo account. I must stay being an internet worker for years. This is one of kind of phishing. If you click that site it's you will for sure receive any of the following key logger, Trojan virus and other virus to get the information from your computer.and Yahoo itself never send email to activate your account as it appears in yahoo mail page only when you log in your account and you enter wrong password there is a forgot password. then when you select that there are option that you can used what kind of problem you have in your account if its compromised or you forgot your password. and there is are security question that you created or the email that you entered as a password recovery. to open your email. EMAIL never deactivated unless you forgot your password you only need to enter the password then it will be activate and never click any link for it is not the process uses by yahoo .Only scammer are the one who always used the link to hack someone's computer.So beware of this my lotters.

I haven't gotten one of those ....yet...but thanks for the tip. I find it so annoying too that Yahoo is nearly insisting that you give a cell phone number as back up and alternate contact for you. I don't have a cell phone..and I tried my land line but they won't accept a land line (how do they know the diff?). Are they going to deactivate if I dont' give a cell number? I gave alternate email, why isn't htat enough. Good grief, cell phones are taking over the world!!!
