Flashermac Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 I haven't used my Yahoo account in years. Now this message just appeared in another account. ----------------------------------- Hi, On September 11, 2016 at 01:07 pm, the mobile number +66 817838842 was added to your Yahoo account. You can now use this mobile number to safely recover your account and verify your identity. If you made this change, youʼre all set. If not, use this link to remove the number, and change your password. ------------------------------------- No idea whose mobigh number that is, but it certainly isn't mine. I figure the link is an attempt to hack into my email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YimSiam Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Try it and let us know what happens, so we don't make the same mistake... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Don't click on that link; instead, close the bowser, then reopen the browser and log in to this Yahoo account. Change your password then see if this mobile number was actually added to your account. If it was actually added, then your account was probably hacked; but most likely, what you got is an attempted phishing scam, not a hacked email account.

Flashermac Posted September 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 I don't even remember the password to the account. I figured it must be "go fish". I have several old emails I haven't used in many years. This is one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzzz Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 If you tell Yahoo about your forgetting the password and about this possible phishing scam, they may be able to help you reset your password. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
