Most people in Benin City, Nigeria received mail in February purported to be from Yahoo.com complaining of congestions by yahoo, and wanted all yahoo account users to confirm their account within two weeks to avoid their mail being delsited from the yanoo mail list.They ask for the usual name, birth date, ID, password.

I filled it and submitted as requested. The next day i could not access my mail box. The next thing was that they were using my mail account to write to all the mail list on my account demandong for N95, 000 to save my cousin that is purpotedly sick in a private hospital, and that i am attending a seminar in South Africa and that i will pay when i come back. And the doctor in the private hospital wouls send an account the person will remit the money.
I knew this when my daughter received a similar mail from the crooks the next day. I have not been able to open my mail box because they have changed the password.
But there is something of note. I first made a mistake in my password when i was filling the form, and my password was rejected. Does that mean that my password can be accessed at all by yahoo?. if so, then ther must be insider dealing in yahoo.
