Yahoo Spam Mails Again

I don't know how many of you out there received this kind of spam mails in your inbox. I also don't have any idea how many of you replied and had given your personal information by filling-up the form to confirm your identity.

Don't you know that email like what I have below is a sample of scam or spam mail? It simply means that it is a fraud mail and not really coming from Yahoo official site. In fact Yahoo will not send you such kind of mails. That is probably one of the reasons why some of my friends' yahoo accounts were hacked. The hackers were able to sign-in to their accounts because they had provided them with their yahoo ID and password.

I already shared different samples of this kind of scam or fraudulent mails in my previous posts to always remind you not to believe in it. Sometimes, I am even receiving comments of what will happen if you provided your account infos. Well, how about theft identity or some other things that will bring you no good.

Below is another sample of YAHOO SCAM MAIL! Beware! I received it today anyway but immediately put it in my spam mails.
