Anyone who uses yahoo here watch out for an email that shows up in your bulk mail folder that says "Warning Yahoo acount will be closed". I had this in my bulk mail and decieded to investigate it and found this: http://www.fraudwatchinternational.com/fra..._2333_yahoo.htm

This is ridiculous I only use yahoo for junk anyway but now its not even good enough for that. If anyone here wants an invitation to gmail send me a request PM.

Suppose I'm careful who and where I give my email address.

No I mean those dumb chain letters... One person starts it, pretending to work at Microsoft, and my contacts send it to me thinking its real.
