Of course it's a scam. If it were genuinely, you'd be offered an opportunity to log in normally to sort things out.

Thanks, I usually recognise scams but this one almost got me ....

1. Claim to be Yahoo and yet show no evidence for it.
2. There is something urgent to panic you into doing something right away.
3. A link is supplied and you don't know what'll happen if you click it.

Leave it with me for a while whilst I give it some thought ;-)
Meanwhile if you post all your bank details I'll check that you haven't lost anything in the meantime.

Old Geezer dont be facetious haha. I usually can tell a scam a mile away, I think it was the urgency that got me .... Beware Abers !!

Just so you're aware, there's a 'Scam' Topic where you can alert other Members to keep their eyes peeled.
