Ive been getting funny emails to all the league yahoo accounts. By the sounds of it its because someone may have a virus that has grabbed our addresses....here is the reply from Yahoo directly. Please scan your computers and dont open ANY attachments that supposedly come from Yahoo.
Hello,
Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Mail.
Based on the information you have sent, it appears you may have
received
an email containing a worm virus. This does not mean your computer has
been infected with the virus, but most likely a computer that contains
your email address within its address book has.
These particular viruses are termed a "worm" virus which attempts to
spread itself by sending email to unsuspecting recipients enticing them
to open the attachments they contain.
If you have recently updated your virus definitions and have scanned
your computer, your system is most likely clean.
Please know that if you have received a virus infected email appearing
to have been sent from a Yahoo! support address claiming:
* Your account will be suspended
* Your password will be updated
* You have committed an online violation
* You have reached account limits
or something similar to this list, the message you have received is a
hoax originated by someone other than Yahoo!. This is a tactic being
used by virus writers to entice you to download the included attachment
and contract a virus. Your account will not incur any changes under
these circumstances.
There is no way to stop the virus from attempting to spread, however if
you are receiving multiple emails, they should eventually subside.
Yahoo! does work to keep as many of these types of emails away from
your
account as possible, however some may trickle through.
Until these types of messages stop arriving to your account, you may
want to consider utilizing our filter feature to direct these messages
to a folder of your choosing. Below I have included a link containing
information about this feature should you decide you are interested in
using it:
