Hi guys,
I just received this:
Yahoo!

Anybody else received this? (There’s an attachment download link below the note.)
Thanks
I’d be ignoring it, certainly wouldn’t open the attachment and marking it as spam.
Dude, no. Why the heck should Yahoo ask you to run any program. They’d just ask you to log in and set up whatever’s necessary online.
What's the sender's address? And never open attachments from sketchy people.
This is a copy including the top of the message, on my yahoo mail: (I did not include the download attachment at the bottom as I might accidentally open it)

The moment any email mentions losing access to something unless you "upgrade" and giving you a link to click or attachment to open, you can be pretty sure it's crap!
Doubly so for a service which has been free for many years.
can you see the attachments full extension? .exe, .zip, .7z or something like that ( they might be sneaky and put two in there i.e. .zip.exe)
The Prince of Nigeria would like a word with you.
I`ve got yahoo mail and they have never done an upgrade that needed me to do anything.
99% sure this a phishing scam.

"To Recipients" 
They're not even trying. You got slacker hackers.
What is the email address of the actual sender? e.g. support@yahoo.com
I would send it to
spoof@yahoo.com
and. phishing@yahoo.com
to alert Yahoo about it.
Not absolutely sure Yahoo operates those mailboxes but most hosting sites do.
They won’t berate you if it turns out to be nothing
I have sent Many suspect emails to
spoof@apple.com
Forward the email with all the headers intact to mail-spoof@cc.yahoo-inc.com
Let them sort it and go after the dung heads.
At the bottom left it says, Update Alert.htm ——- then on the right the clickable download
Nothing of that sort.
I learned a new curse word today! It's "dung head".
And everything I needed to know I learned at BLF. ;)
It’ probably a malicious site that will highjack your browser and install crapware or some ransomware and render your PC unusable until you pay up.
Just ignore it, I have yahoo for ages and they don’t send you that crap
DITTO!
Lol
Reminds me on the Simpsons episodes where Homer gets in the internet…
