is awful. Delete the email immediately, don't click the links or download any attachments.
This is a rumour :
Yahoo! are to charge $10 a mouth for Yahoo! Messenger
"Yahoo! is planning to charge, Please send this message to everyone you know. Each person who
receives this message counts as one 'signature' of which Yahoo! requires 1,000,000 to stay
free".
This is a rumour ignore it.
Rumour2 :
A new type of buddy list! Just send a group message to 10 or more users!
"Right click on your group name of your buddy list and check send this message to all the
people in this group copy this and send it to your friends in the group. If you send this msg to
10 people, a new type of buddy list will appear! It will tell you where someone is, who they are
talking to, and if they have more than one screen name".
This may put a temporary lock on your account. DONT SEND IT IGNORE IT.
