MY PASSWORD REQUEST

Hi,
I'd like to have some information about "yahoo service" mailer that demands my password. I've got an e-mail today with all the yahoo design I am used to see, including with Liam's logo for mailing (the mail box). Is is a reliable service? Do you send messages like this to confirm passwords in order to avoid spam?
Thanks in advance,
Luciana Paula

  • Luciana,

    Most likely that message is not from Yahoo but is a "phishing" attempt to steal your login password. Do not follow the instructions in that message.

    See this help topic for more information:

  • Never give out your password as a result of an email, no matter how legit it looks. Real companies do not ask you for your password via email - EVER.
