I'll bet all the 'from's on the msg you got are forged (and the link probably goes to some Yahoo-lookalike site where they'll try to take
your cc #). If you can, find the originating IP address on the message you got and do an nslookup on it (I'll bet it's nothing
connected to yahoo.com) and then complain to that ISP if you think it will help. I get these from 'eBay' fairly often.
