Mandy needs help asked:


there is a recent email being sent out that says the following:
Yahoo is shutting down on November 17th. They want to get rid of free messenger. If you delete this and don’t pass it on, your name will be deleted. A lot of people have already been deleted. Right click on the group name of your buddylist and click, Send Instant Message to All in Group.. This is Yahoo President Anna Rubenecia, I am sorry to announce that Yahoo has reached its maximum number of accounts two million. If you would like to keep your account for free send this to everyone on your list. This way we can know which accounts are being used and which accounts we can delete. Send this within 8 days and your account will remain free.
I have never received this from yahoo so want to make sure it is leggit-How can I find out?

    Sounds like a Spam - delete it…

    Yahoo wouldn’t have sent you a message like that and anyway they are still advertising free email accounts so would hardly be deleting.

    If you clicked anything please warn all your contacts and run any spyware and antivirus softwear that you have on your computer NOW.

    Good Luck!!

    “President Anna Rubenecia” is a fake name used in a phishing scam which has been around for months!
