I just received this email and my techie husband and I checked into it because it didn’t look right.
It is a scam and we reported it to abuse@yahoo.com.
Just wanted to warn everyone to never give out your info when requested like this or if it just doesn’t look right.

The links within the email go to a 123-yahoo.com and the page looks like Yahoo, but it really isn't!
