I got it on my gmail account which is linked to my yahoo email. I did not get it with my yahoo account.
This is what the email said:

This seems fake to me, like an attempt to get my information. I'm trying to contact yahoo, but their help page is so ridiculous. I just want to send them an email, but I feel like I'm trying to uncover holy grail. Their site won't give me an email address to contact them, it just brings me to FAQ pages.

Scam!!!! That's a phishing email from hackers. Don't click on the link and give out your personal information to them or your account will be at risked of being hijacked by them once this happens. Remember that Yahoo doesn't send unsolicited emails to all its users and ask for your information, as the company already has all that stored in its well-secured servers. Just get it deleted without delay.
When you receive emails from Yahoo, look for the purple insignia seal to the left of the sender's name. It will indicate to you the official messages come straight from the company and not from the scammers, ending only with @cc.yahoo-inc.com. Messages from Yahoo also do not contain generic greetings, as the scammers often insert in them.
I would not use their link but still sign to your own yahoo account and update your information you are safer if you change passwords occasionally
i got the samething too, went on my yahoo and change password there just in case
Ya looks fishy. Call a rep and see if they have record of that.
