Another E-mail scam
The scammers are at it again.
If you get an email from Yahoo PayDirect asking you to follow the link and update your info, don't do it. It does not forward you to the yahoo site just one that looks like it. There is also a trojan type of program that runs when you follow the link. They are after the credit card info stored in your account. Once you type in your username password they will use to get into your account.
Here's what the email looked like minus the graphics and active link.
