Cheezy,..................I use Yahoo mail as my main email app,....no,...never received such a notice from Yahoo. But this doesn't mean it's a hoax either.....
Who's your provider,....ATnT? If so,...give them a phone call.

None here, either. Sounds fishy (or phishy?) to me.

Nothing from Yahoo...but I did have 6 pieces of SPAM from my mother-in-law. Everything she sends me goes straight to the SPAM folder and is promptly deleted without being opened....all she sends me are those forwarded and reforwarded and rereforwarded stupid things about some poor kid in Guatamala whose mother got ate by a herd of toothless guinea pigs and that he needs a new pair of Nike basketball shoes so that he can out run the Honduran rebels who are trying to tattoo his nose to look like Swiss cheese, which is a violation of his deep rooted religious beliefs and that unless I send $19.99 a month to Sally Struthers she is going to take her fat butt down to Guatamala and sit on that poor, motherless kid and force feed him the rice that my slice of pizza a month was traded for which was supposed to feed the hungry children in Ethiopia but due to a Yak farting in eastern Mongolia the climate change has forced all the Ethiopians to move to Trenton New Jersey and live in card board boxes that were originally used to ship all those Nike basketball shoes to the Honduran rebels in China. Something like that.
