    It is a Scam. Never give out your personal info to any of these places. It is a phishing scam to steal your identity. Yahoo will never ask you for your personal info. Hope this helps!!!

    You can report this fill out the phishing form below.

    You guessed it already. 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.
