CATCH A PHISH!

I just received this email in my yahoo email account from this email address: alert@yahoo-inc.com

making this webpage to alert others who may possess a gullible nature

not only to, NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THIS "ALERT' but also to, TRY AND REPORT IT.

my response

ATTENTION YAHOO.COM
 I am forwarding this email to yahoo-inc because I believe something should be done to whomever is phishing/spamming these emails to unsuspecting victims. I know everyone should know, not to give out their information such as ID and password to some email address just because it sounds like it's coming from the official yahoo site.  Please let me know what else I can do to help eliminate such threats.
