Phishing also happens over the phone as well. It is not unheard of that
people get phone calls claiming to be from a bank asking for personal
information (why would a bank need your account number... aren't they your
bank and don't they already have this information?). It is generally a very
bad idea to give any personal information out in any venue other than the
physical office of the institution which you do business. If the company
suspects that your account has been compromised, they will disable it and
then ask you to contact them. If you receive such an e-mail, do not click on
any links in it or dial any phone number contained within. Instead, look up
the company's contact information (in a phone book or via a search engine)
and use the publicly available contact information.

And that was your second mistake. Why the server, in this case Yahoo, would
like your password and your birth day when that is not originally needed?
I NEVER EVER answer anything even if I am told that my life depends on it.
Never answer a request for information of any kind. If it a legitimate
request they will call you on the phone.

Hi All,
I received an e-mail and an early morning call from my friend Helen Hedor
this morning stating that she received a e-mail scam from me stating;
"FISHING FOR MONEY". I did in NO WAY send this e-mail! Please do not in
anyway answer or send money to the bogus e-mail scam which was sent in my
name.. THIS IS SCARY!
I don't know what has happened, but I came home last night and my yahoo
account sent me an e-mail which stated that my e-mail has been compromised
for scam purposes, and if I didn't answer the questions below I would have
my account frozen. I immediately replied and answered the questions, but
then I thought, what if this is a scam to extract personal information, so I
copied the the questionnaire and sent it to the yahoo alert center. I
received a reply that they would check into it. This morning I couldn't get
into my e-mail account so I had to jump a bunch of hoops and reset my
password. I hope none of you have this happen to you.
The Yahoo Account warning stated: "Yahoo Mail has discovered series of
illegal attempts on your Yahoo Account from bad Ip Location and will shut
your account as it has been flagged as a spam account. Filling Correct
Information Carefully and Sending to Yahoo Alert Center:"
I hope this was legitimate! The information they wanted was my user name,
password and birthday.
Sincerely,Akemi Allison-Tacha BS, HT(ASCP)HTL
