Thread Name: Tech: What is Yahoo Briefcase? Legit?
Subject: RE: Tech: What is Yahoo Briefcase? Legit?
I totally agree. I dumped that email, since I don't have a Yahoo Briefcase thingy. It is a very stupid way of sending a notice - if it really WAS from Yahoo. A lot of scams wrap themselves around a genuine article to disguise themselves. And "Action Required" in the heading followed by just-click-this-link guarantees that the only thing I'm going to click is the Delete button. STILL don't know what it was all about, but the main thing I was worried about was losing my emails, which seems not to be likely to happen.
Further doubts are raised in my mind by the fact that I - who don't have a Briefcase account - got this notice and JeffP who does, didn't.
