e mail from Yahoo

Post by stattointhailand » January 7, 2022, 2:43 pm

Anyone else get an e mail supposedly from yahoo telling them to update their details by 8 Jan.
Seems strange the info comes from an a/c @sky.com and not @yahoo ??

I received an email from Yahoo advising to update by 19 February.

It was definitely from Yahoo, [email protected], so I suggest you be very wary of something from another source.

I have an active Yahoo address and not had anything from them.

I got one of those too in Toronto a few days ago. It mentioned something about January 8th and it wasn't a reminder that this was the birthdate of Elvis. Since I have never used yahoo, I just deleted the message without noticing if it was marked from @yahoo or not.

My email was because I have not used the yahoo account for some time.

I guess they are trying to cull dead accounts.
