Did Yahoo Send This Suspicious Email.

The previous answer suggested I may get 100 or more emails daily to warrant revalidation of my account by Yahoo. I do not, more like 10. I have my doubts that Yahoo sent it. The sender name is peculiar.... I would like to forward the email to Yahoo for security check. Where do I send it please re Security issues.

100% scam.

That is a scammer trying to hi-jack your email address to spam all your contacts and then use the account to spam hundreds/thousands of others.

Yahoo and all email companies, all banks and all companies in the entire world will NEVER ask for your password, pin or date of birth. No Exceptions Ever.

Ignore and delete that email and any others demanding such information.
