SURVEY: Has anyone ever got one of this? IS IT SAFE TO DO SO?
Like they all say...





NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!





IGNORE IT





DELETE IT
Reply:A couple thing to look for in a scam letter.





Look for spelling errors, which this one has. Also how they address you. If they don't use your given name or email name then it is probably a scam.


The biggest clue is that they are asking for personal info and password, which they never ever would do.
Reply:I never had one,,, its a scam they would never ask for your user name password ect...Read it properly, they can't even put a sentence together...theres no commas or full stops either.Send it on to Yahoo. I have heard of this before and they said it was a spoof...
Reply:Not true, don't do it. No email anyone sends you from anywhere will ever require you to fill in your password if it's not on an actually account sign in page.
Reply:This is a scam B.S. e-mail to steal your identity. I hope you did not provide any information. If so, you're screwed. Delete it.
Reply:yup I was advised to block the sender.you can by clicking the link,and report it ,,tw@t will they never learn
Reply:no ive not had one. i would assume it to be a scam. Yahoo would know if an account was active or not without having to ask you for your password and personal details.
Reply:If they are asking for you user name, password, DOB, all other personal information then you know it's a fake. I would email Yahoo! to tell them about this email.
Reply:I only get the ones from some guy in Nigeria telling me our father died, and I have a huge sum of money...


Just give him my ss number, etc...and boom, money.
Reply:No, it's a fake they will never ask for those details like that- they said that when you joint.





They also misspelt!!
Reply:This is a FAKE!!! Yahoo would never send anything like this out!!!! This is called Phising!! They would never ask for this type of information!!! Don't be fooled!!!
Reply:That is so fake! Yahoo will NEVER ask you for a password or personal info. Do not believe it and send that straight to the spam folder.
Reply:Stupid chain mail going around. I want to kill people who keep sending that crap!
Reply:hm. I'm not sure.


they spelled 'important' wrong though.


so that makes it suspicious.
Reply:Send it back to Yahoo Customer Care and ask them to explain this bul*l*sh1t ;)
Reply:delete it straight away, obviously a scam.
Reply:Man that really sucks!! No I havent got one but I might. idk if its safe but before you do it I would email them asking or get more info on it. good luck!!
Reply:Not as of yet!!!!
Reply:DO NOT ANSWER it i have had 2 in 3 days it is a scam!!!!!!!!!!!They are phishing xx
Reply:DONT REPLY!! ITS A SCAM!!
Reply:Do not reply to that. It is not from Yahoo.
Reply:I don't know, I havn't recievce one yet!
Reply:No.!!!
Reply:This is a scam. Do not reply to it!
Reply:No I haven't so I would say it isn't safe.
Reply:Thats bull! Don't fill it in.
