Hey Guys and Gals beware of a Yahoo spam. Just got a message with a download option that my yahoo account expires today.

Yahoo does not expire accounts so don't hit that download.

Thanks for the heads up Plum, I make a habit of quickly deleting anything that has any unknown downloads but many will klick and get took because of it.

I keep several phishing notification email addresses. When I get one I forward it to the company.

I've gotten several recorded phone calls lately telling me that because of suspicious activity, my social security number will be suspended if I don't press "1" to resolve the issue. Seemed to me like THEY were the ones with a suspicious activity!

I've been getting emails from paypal, Amazon and others about my accounts. PayPal, wouldn't even know pw to get in. Cancelled Amazon last month and others just ignore after going to the real site to check it.
Btw, back home now, been down Mobile.

Even if it looks real I delete it. If it turns out it is real they’ll come looking for me. I’ve been scammed once. Not again...🐟on
