Did Yahoo ask id, password and date of birth and country through an email from YAHOO SERVICE?

I have received an email asking that if I donot provide the details of my yahoo id, password, date of birth and country, then my free yahoo email account will be closed in next 48 hours. Please help.

Did Yahoo ask id, password and date of birth and country through an email from YAHOO SERVICE?
Ignore it.Scam.
Reply:No, it's a scam. Ignore it





Any email that asks for personal data is generally spam/ phishing (trying to get your details so they can defraud you).





Never click on the links in an email like this, report it as spam, and if you're worried, go to the website of the company in question, log in as you normally would and check if there are any messages for you.





Good luck.

Reply:Honey, it's spam.


Yahoo would NEVER ask for that through an email especially.


What was the address sent to you? Check it- if it is something weird like ajsdfgh@xxxx.com it would be spam. If its something legitiment like service@yahoo.com it may be real. Just check :)
Reply:Did you talk to them? They are very nice and helpful. Wedon't have to provide our birthdays in the US or Country I don't think so, I don't remember.
