Yesterday I received an email account ALERT from Yahoo asking for personal info or my account will be canceled?

Is this for real or someone phishing for personal info?

Reply:SCAM SCAM SCAM, Yahoo will NEVER ask you for personal information, they have it stored, backed up, and backed up on a offsite location incase of fire or natural disaster. (main contigency plans for any company with high data maintenance). So they are not going to ask you, but you should report this to yahoo, not all people are aware of scams in general!





Hope this helps!
Reply:DO NOT reply. This is a phishing scam attempting to get you to give them all your personal info. It's not from Yahoo, just delete it and ignore it. Good luck and be careful.
