Do not be fooled by the legitimate email address the scam email appears to have been sent from. The email address was spoofed, meaning, the scam email was not sent from it, but from another email address.

If you were tricked into submitting your account credentials by the "Yahoo Mail Upgrade" scam email, please change your passwords. If you were tricked into disclosing banking information, please contact your bank for help.
