it's a scam.

ETA: fwd it to Yahoo's 'spoof' department or 'spam' dept.

Don't listen to it!!! i had such an issue a couple of weeks ago with an email i received from what i thought was 'PAYPAL' (the paying company you use when you buy stuff from ebay) and it wound up being a spoof!!!! They almost got me to give personal info and everything...it was very believable b/c the hackers actually carbon copied the real paypal webpage, so you thought you were actually updating your account. make sure you report it to YAHOO.
