Why am I getting an email from yahoo asking for my yahoo ID and password?
It is a Scam. Never give out your personal info to any of these places. It is a phishing scam to steal your identity. Yahoo will never ask you for your personal info. Hope this helps!!!
Reply:Yahoo and AT%26amp;T are not merging.


Neither Yahoo nor AT%26amp;T would ask you for your personal information in an E-mail like that.


It is a scam to get your personal information and/or money.


Do not respond to it.


Report it to yahoo, so they are aware.

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.
