This is a known 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.

i haven’t gotten this, and probably this is not from Yahoo, cause they already got all the info

Yahoo would not ask you for your personal information in an E-mail like that.
It is a scam to get your personal information and/or your money, or both!
Do not respond to it.
Report it, forward it to the FTC at spam@uce.gov and to the abuse desk of the sender’s ISP.
For yahoo, report them here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ya…
Choose Fraud as the reason for the violation you’re reporting on.
Also, if the E-mail appears to be impersonating a bank or other company or organization, forward the message to the actual organization.

I’ve been receiving the same thing every couple of months on my Hotmail account. I just delete them. You should do the same, your account isn’t going to be deleted.
