[kictanet] Fw: YAHOO ACCOUNT VERIFICATION ALERT !!!

[Josiah Mugambi]

Hi Michael,

Ignore - and possibly report it as a phishing attempt.

This is not an address which you would expect yahoo to send such info from:
*From: YAHOO CENTER <**vonweise at yahoo.com* <vonweise at yahoo.com>*>*

In addition, they would not ask you for your password information, yahoo id
etc.

Regards,
