The telephone number 1-888-819-1216 is being used by cybercriminals. The cybercriminals trick their potential victims into calling the number by sending out the fake Yahoo Deactivation Request below. The fake email claims a request was received to terminate the recipients' Yahoo Mail account, but that is not true. Therefore, recipients of the fake email are asked not to follow the instructions in it.
