Hi

I have just been asked to activate my new Yahoo account. I didnt know I had one and I havent applied for a new one. Do I ignore this as a scam?

Thanks for your advice

Thanks Gail

I think I will delete it. If I get it wrong I can always get another one from them.

I have also had this and never applied, had one the other day from face book wanting me to put in my name and password on the email, FB never do this so reported it as a scam.

Most of my scam email has a Yahoo address, do not know why.

If you have not applied, don't give any information, just delete.

Thanks Gail

I have deleted it. I feel that it is better to be safe than sorry.

All the bet
