fake

This is fake - it has been going around Yahoo for years now. Like someone else mentioned, why would Yahoo ask anyone to forward it to all their friends when they have the ability to mass email all their clients.
Hope this helps.

It's oviously fake. Why would yahoo ask you to foward an email to 20 people? They have the ability to send a mass email to every account they have. They wouldn't want you to send the emails to other people because there's the possibility of people getting multiple emails in their box.

right
some people have many emails and some other had an old email and they don't use any more
so these people will not forward the email in a month and there email will be deleted and some other might have it
but you don't have to be afraid, just forward that email and they won't delete you account

This doesn't sound like something Yahoo would do. I would be wary that this is a scam and not really coming from Yahoo. Hopefully a Yahoo official can answer this question.

Sounds like a SCAM to me. Better check you system and see if this FAKE mail contained a virus, worm or spyware....... Good Luck

its nothing but a big fraud work by some anti-social elements.. who want2 create panic in yahoo's esteemed customers...

so u can b relax.. and continue vth our yahoo.com joyfully...
