GOT MESSAGE YAHOO WOULD TERMINATE SERVICE UNLESS ACCOUNT INFO UPDATED

You are being Phished - it is a scam. Nobody is ever going to terminate your service from anything over email.

Thank you Cyclo!

Give the man the Question answered ribbon. I believe he hit the problem right on the nose.

Okay

It's a scam. Don't even click on their email.

I did will something bad happen?

There are both spams and viruses going around, so when you don't know the individual sending the email, it's best to delete with Spam. Any time you get email asking for personal info, it's a scam.

According to a recent Microsoft Security Bulletin, the same technique is being used in regards to Hotmail accounts in an attempt to get personal information from the unwary.

I received the same message twice today 8-6-15 for me to give up current info and click on here op in or op out and all will be ok I tried to comply but it did not work after I clicked.The last message was termination was immenent.Im thinking SCAM would yahoo do this to ther customers for not updating.?Im tired of this crap if its a scam.Someone tell me whats really going on. Thanks Steve

That is always a scam.

100% of the time. Yahoo is a free service; you don't have to update anything (it's a website, anyway, and not software. There is nothing to update) because they know that people can and do just make a new account if the old one fails to work for some reason and a password cannot be recovered.

Yep. This is going around again. The last time, you had to enter your password to "Update". If you did so, you just might ougata' change your password - right now.
