Hello,

Thank you for contacting Yahoo! Customer Care.

Thank you for contacting Yahoo! Mail Investigations regarding the
unsolicited email message you have received.

After careful evaluation, we have determined that this email message did not originate from the Yahoo! Mail system. The "yahoo.com" address associated with the email does not exist. It appears the true sender of this message forged the header information to give the impression that
it came from Yahoo! Mail.

Forging the Yahoo! domain is a violation of our Terms of Service (TOS)
and appropriate action will be taken against any accounts engaging in
such acts. Forgery is an industry-wide issue and Yahoo! has committed
itself to work in collaboration with other companies to combat this and other types of spam.

Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Customer Care.
Regards, Yahoo! Customer Care

For assistance with all Yahoo! services please visit:

he warn there are some jerks sending e-mails with Forging header best way to tell is look at the e-mail address of the host or they service it being sent from sample: godoggy(at)yahoo(dot)lt at the end it should be com not nt or any other.

so be careful its not only Yahoo! i seen this coming from it all so AOL and MSN too.

in this case it was a sell pitch and they use ____@yahoo.lt as a reply address most of the time there should be 3 three set of letter at the end not two

i even had one for support@bankofamerica.ltd support asking for data to be enter in the e-mail body it was a Forging e-mail as will.

have not got any virus or seen any thats make me happy only these fool Forging e-mails
