[QUOTE="Chaz, post: 1048377, member: 6654"] I just got an email in my yahoo email today that doesnt have an attachment... however i suspect its not from yahoo. It looks to be -from Yahoo! Services" <verify@yahoo.com Subject: Verify Your Yahoo! Mail message reads: [B] Dear Yahoo! Mail User, We'd like to share some important information with you as you get to know our service: At Yahoo Mail, we're committed to using the best technology available to help protect your privacy.

To confirm your information, please click here[/B] The thing is you would think they would be able to see automaticaly that I am using the email. When you click on the link it takes you to a page that doesnt start with yahoo in the url(although its in there a ways in) and they right off ask for email id and password. Odd since I had to be logged in to read the mail already. And when i look at the expanded header I see this [B]From: "Yahoo! Services" <verify@yahoo.com> Reply-to: [email]verify@yahoo.com[/email] To: [email]wahshing99@yahoo.com[/email] [/B] [email]wahshing99@yahoo.com[/email]??? this looks odd I dont want to lose my email but this seems like some kind of scam. I emailed info about it to 2 diferent yahoo help places but i got an instant form letter back from both that seem to say check help files for your answer..... DOH! Anyone have an idea on this? Thanks either way. Chaz. [/QUOTE]
