  1. I'd report this to the almighty Yahoo! Answers gurus, a.k.a. the federal bureau of Answers investigations (FBAI)


  2. I got one of these about 4 or 5 months ago and I did not respond and nothing happened,if it came from Yahoo it wouldnt say you have recieved a message from another user. Someone isnt smart enough to see that, the one I got was from someone named Joe or something like that and so I figured out it was a fake. It would be from Yahoo customer care if it were real. Plus, you are using your account so there again they fooled up.

  3. Report it as phishing and they'll be suspended ASAP.

  4. I haven't got that message

    ..........even if I did. I don't think I would just give away all my personal info just like that.

  5. Dont reply to it , it sounds like a phishing scam, and an attempt to hack your account. Try to read the headers and pinpoint where it originated from. If I had the email I could do it for you.

  6. Do not give out personal info to anyone on the internet, unless it is a legit biz and you can find info on them. This is bogus so put it to SPAM.

  7. Report to Yahoo!Answers,post this on Yahoo Suggestion Board or give a fictional information.The person only targeted users with high points & level.1 of my contacts was a victim.Her account was hijacked & used.

  8. babe, ive never got one of those!

    its got to be some kind of scam!

    i dont who, how or why! but ignore it

    an if it keeps on report it!

  9. sounds real but i think its fake. maybe you can try and send some wrong info...
