    Yahoo will never, ever ask you for your password through an email. This is fake, disregard it and delete it. Report it as spam aswell.

    It does kind of make you wonder how much of this goes on all day long. They must spoof a few. Never ending. I used to report some to the real site, but now they happen so often I gave up on that. Just delete them and/or add them to the junk filter.

    This email is complete BS. Don't answer it. Watch out for this kinda stuff. It is always fake. I'm not just talking about Yahoo either. I get those emails for bank accounts, Craigslist, Ebay, Facebook, and other sites all of the time.

    A close look at the sender's email address would have given it all away. Why on earth would Yahoo support use earthlink.net to send e-mails?
