And Yahoo to manually verify the millions of yahoo emails accounts??? Impossible. And the way it is written it is not in the professional style of Yahoo. And the biggest clue is asking from you to send them the password by email! No decent website would do that. If that is not enough for you then read this.
Be careful when giving out personal information
Be cautious about giving out your credit card numbers, Social Security number, bank account numbers, driver license number, and passwords. Never include this information in an email, which is generally not secure. Be suspicious of any company that asks for this information in an email or instant message. Most legitimate companies will never ask you to confirm sensitive data in an online form or in an email, and will instead use conventional mail when requesting this information.
Yahoo! will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited email or phone call. And we'll never ask you to send your password or credit card information by email.

You’d think that Yahoo would scan and remove dodgy email name requests/accounts, especially ones containing "Yahoo" in them!
They really need to get their act together...
They are so stupid! First of all there is no ".inc" top level domain. And then why they couldn't get a "@yahoo.com" address at least? They are free! Stupid amateurs
Deceptively similar to genuine Yahoo support addresses though such as...

Don’t you just loath liars and fraudsters?
