Just got an email:-

"from jenny.sapiano@btinternet.com
to **my email address**
subject - Mail Delivery (failure ***myemailaddress***@yahoo.com)

If the message will not displayed automatically,
follow the link to read the delivered message.

Received message is available at:
www.fishylookingyahoowebaddress"

when I click on the link this leads you to a site where you are asked to login your yahoo user name and password - I recon this is a FAKE login screen and a scam to find out your password!!!

beware!!!

Yep, definately a scam by the looks of it. Thanks for the heads-up.

I would forward that email to Yahoo's security team and let them deal with it, if they act quickly they should be able to get the site shut down before it does too much harm.
