Hello Everyone,
I’ve recently received an email about changes that are about to take place with Yahoo! and wanted to make absolute sure that the email was legitimate, and that it was actually received from Yahoo! before providing any account information. I found the email to be a little suspect, being that it came through the spam folder and not the inbox. The fact that it had no subject title made me a little more skeptical. Does anyone know if this email is for real? Please let me know when time permits. Any and all feed back will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much, Aloha from Hawaii and God Bless.
