when you click on the link it takes you to a site that looks very convincing and it even tries to make your computer download something which i luckily canceled before it happened - Hopefully they can get these people- the are using yahoo logos and on the site they even have links back to yahoo to look official - they ask for banking and credit card info- which i dont pay for anything through yahoo so i knew there was no reason for asking- hope nobody gets taken on this!
