    I think the scammers don't want people to reply such emails, they just want us to click the link (I also noticed that the link which is showing in pic is actually another link if you hover your mouse on it).

    some times the mouse pointer hovering dosenot work, as there are codes to hide the link in the task bar, it may show yahoo.com in the task bar and take you straight to anyother site!

    it is always adviced not to click on links from the emails!:)

    I'm sure some people fell for it :p it's so easy to spot fakes! Just roll over the link and check to see if the domain is really from a yahoo.com or not :p

    That's pretty smart I must admit lol. I always rollover the link like 8everything said to see if it's a fake or not.

    I thought it was real too. I got it awhile ago. I clicked it and it did nothing though.

    You should forward that email to Yahoo, I bet they'd be interested in seeing that.
