Asked to log into yahoo mail scam
That's a common phishing scam!
Here's what's happening:
The scammer is trying to trick you into revealing your Yahoo Mail login credentials by pretending to be Yahoo Mail itself. They're likely using a fake website or email that looks like it's from Yahoo, but it's actually a fake.
Here's what you should do:
- DO NOT click on the "Log in" button or enter your login credentials. This will only give the scammer access to your account.
- DO NOT respond to the email or message. This will only encourage the scammer to keep trying to trick you.
- DO NOT click on any links or download any attachments from the email or message. This could install malware on your device.
- REPORT THE SCAM: Forward the email or message to Yahoo's abuse department at [email protected] and report it to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at [email protected].
- CHECK YOUR ACCOUNT: If you're concerned about your account's security, log in to your Yahoo Mail account directly from the official Yahoo website (yahoo.com) and check for any suspicious activity.
Remember, Yahoo will never ask you to log in to your account from an email or message. If you're unsure about the authenticity of an email or message, it's always best to err on the side of caution and avoid interacting with it.
Stay safe online!
