oh, I got a few from a wish-to-be Yahoo customer service.
They pretended it was not to shut down my "unused" account. I replied my account was far from being unused, hell no! And the message resulted sent by the same IP of the scammers baited from the same account. Frustrated lads trying to hack the account.
Try again, you'll be luckier (maybe)!

Don't laugh. I have a friend, a serious scientist, who fell for exactly this email. Some people don't fully comprehend....
