Have you tried to call the 1-800 number for yahoo? I wouldnt believe any email from Yahoo would have you change your password.

If someone changes your password, you receive an email at your alternate email address notifying you of the change. However, if your yahoo password had changed, then you wouldn't be able to check your yahoo email.

Exactly...that's what was wierd about it. I only have 2 yahoo accounts and I haven't changed the password for either one...that is until after I got the email.:)

Yeah they weren't having me change it, just notifying me that I had just changed mine.

Does this help? I'm not sure if this is what you meant, but I thought I'd post it here just in case.

Sounds like someone's idea of a phishing trip to me. They expect you to read the e-mail in your Yahoo account and be confused enough to e-mail them back saying "What? What's going on? My username for Yahoo is gummibear12 and my password is toucansamcereal, but now this thing is saying my password has changed? How did that happen? Can you help?"

And in that way, now they've got your username and password for real. They're counting on you to not think about the fact that if your password had changed, you wouldn't be reading that e-mail anyway. And also, I've received things that have said my Earthlink account password has changed and AOL is mad at me because I broke their user account rules. Neither one of these could have happened because I have never had either Earthlink or AOL. So, if I'd been someone who did have Earthlink or AOL, these things would be even more confusing and harder to identify as phishing. It's possible the e-mail sent to you was designed for people at other domain names so that they would think that Yahoo was notifying them at an alternate e-mail address to let them know. But instead, yours got sent to a Yahoo account, so it foiled the system.

Yup, it's a phishing attempt. Report them to Yahoo.
