How do I contact yahoo about possible phishing email?


I updated my security information but I received an email saying that yahoo is updating its servers and will delete accounts not manually verified. It does not seem to have originated from yahoo. I’ve had my account for nearly 10 years and do not want it deleted. I suspect it maybe a phishing scam. How can I email yahoo about it? Does yahoo have an abuse email address that I can send the suspect email?

You can report the message to Customer Care by going here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/abuse.html
Choose Password Phishing as the reason for the violation you’re reporting on.

Alternatively, you can forward the message to them-unedited and with full headers-at this address: phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com

Hope this helps.

    Forward such a mail to: phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com, here’s how: click the crtl key and at the same time click the "forward" button to forward a message as an attachment, mac users should click the "apple" key and click "forward" simultaneously.
