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.
