Yahoo phishing email?

Did anyone else get an email from "mesage center %26lt;mailcenter_alert04@yahoo.com%26gt;" asking for


%26gt; UserName:


%26gt; Password:


%26gt; Date of Birth:


%26gt; Country Or Terriitory:





The email says that Yahoo is cleaning out their system and getting rid of all unused accounts. It says that if you don't respond, your email account will be deleted if you don't respond in 2 weeks.





I just thought it was funny because they spelled some of the words wrong..."mesage" and "terriitory"...lol.





I almost replied back to it to make fun of them for their horrible attempt at phishing, but I didn't because everyone says not to reply to those emails and to delete them.

Yahoo phishing email?
It certainly reflects poorly on the educational system in Nigeria. I haven't seen this one, but a lot of others similar to it.
Reply:I second that CJ. I been receiving a few phishing emails lately. One is coming from Nigeria. But course, they are using a different alias. Another is actually using Yahoo's name (ex: Yahoo Intl. Lottery w/ key). Report It

Reply:DO NOT reply. As yu guessed this is a phishing scam attempting to get you to give them all your personal info. It's not from Yahoo, just delete it and ignore it. Good luck and be careful.
Reply:I've never got that one but others saying I have won this Yahoo lottery.HOW DUMB ARE THESE PEOPLE?lol.The tards could at least learn how to spell or be smart enough to run spell check on it before they send it.DUH!! :-)
Reply:Just delet is already!
Reply:I guarantee that thousands will reply with their password. Yahoo will never ask for your password except at sign in.
