Has anyone received an email from Yahoo requesting that they update their email account within 96 hours?

I received such an email this morning,requesting that I give them such info as my password,date of birth,address,etc. and I'm not sure if it is legitimate. I didn't want to reply to it until I could verify that it's actually from Yahoo. Thanks for any advice.

Yahoo would never ask you for these things.


They would wait for you to log in to your account to make requests.
Reply:No..they would not ask you for your password etc....they already HAVE IT. Send it to them and warn them this is out there so they can track it down.
Reply:What do you think?! Are you really that dumb! Don't reply.
