I received an email (see below) from Yahoo! asking me to verify the addition of a new account. I did not create a new account. Is this spam or is someone trying to get access to my account? If so, do I just ignore it?
Here is the text of the email:
From: "my-yahoo-register@yahoo-inc.com" <my-yahoo register@yahoo-inc.com>
To: <deleted for privacy>

Contact abuse at yahoo. Don't click the link. It's probably links to a spoofing site.

SCAM just hit the SPAM button do not open it just confirms your email address and you will get a lot more spam. Never give out your personal info to any of these places. It is a phishing scam to steal your identity. Hope this helps!!!
