NO SPAM, PLEASE -- Yahoo! Upgrade and Account Verification
An account verification notice as part of regular phishing scam from internet fraudsters received today apparently from Yahoo! team. There's no name of sender is given but the email accounts shows that it is someone Angela Paterson who sent this mail on behalf of Yahoo! Mail Online Services 2011.
The sender is asking to provide all details of my Yahoo! account including Username and Password; so that they can revalidate my account. Ridiculous, once any recipient would reply them with this info he would regret for rest of his/her life.
Contents of the mail are given below:
