NO SPAM, PLEASE -- Phishing Scam: Yahoo!! Mail is Upgrading!!
I received the following mail today purportedly from Yahoo!! providing the link to update account. The link provided in mail leads to a fake (look-alike) Yahoo Log-in page. Screen shot given below:

You can note clearly that the URL of the provided link is very absurd one and totally different from the original Yahoo! Log-in page.
URL of Fake Yahoo! Log-in Page is http://upelmaturintv.com.ve/chat/main/smilies/Yahoo!/config/index.html while the original Yahoo! lo-in page carries the URL: https://login.yahoo.com/config/login_verify2?&.src=ym and looks like shown below:
