| Yahoo answers has been going in the UK since jan 2006 and is well over a year old..My guess is that it is a fake trying to get your passwords and ID to attack your computer details and the info on it,,,delete it and don`t be fooled.. |

| This is a scam. The People that are hosting the information gathering is Cheetah mail which is an email marketing company.The give away is that if YA! was having their 1 year anniversary they would make more of an event of it, Which is what they did do last year for their real 1 year anniversary. Yahoo would not insist on having your home address. Domain keys can be faked and if you look at the full header you will see it has been and The sending email address is a fake. People might respond to the information on the email and get told it is real but all you are doing is speaking to the scammers. Best thing to do is delete it and don't think your missing out. The only thing your missing out from is Spam and your home address being sold to direct mail advertisers. |

| We in the UK get bugger all from Yahoo! The small gifts they give away from time to time (like mugs, keykings etc) are not available in the UK GrrrrrYahoo do give gifts but usually they are advertised on the site so I would be very dubious of that sort of mail in my Inbox. |
