Latest Phishing Scam with Fake/Look-alike Yahoo! Log-in Page

NO SPAM, PLEASE -- Upgrade Your Yahoo Account

I received a mail apparently from Yahoo! team asking to use the link provided in the mail to upgrade my Yahoo! account. 

The URL (http://burgoscuenta.com/yahoomailplus/yahoomail.html) of the link provided in the mail lead me to a fake and look-alike Yahoo! log-in page.

Once the recipient will put his Yahoo! account ID and password it will update the database of spammers to use the same for their malpractices in the future.
