hoax, milty. think about it. if they wanted to know who is still using their account they could just check the last time you logged in. or, for fear of being invasive, they could simply email you and ask you to respond if you still use your account. why would you need to forawrd the email to everyone you know in order for them to know you still access the account? | |

Definitely fake. In fact I think I heard something in the past few days about Yahoo expanding its mailbox storing capacity. | |

This same thing came up a few years ago, I think thru emails though. I always thought it was a type of virus, something that was sent on to everyone on your buddy list or something whether you wanted it to be or not...I received it two times also...
For the record, if you got this message from me on your Yahoo Messenger, I did not send it!!... However, if you got a message from me on your Yahoo saying to send me a 6-pack of Coke or your account would be deleted, that one is true...  | |

I got a message on my Yahoo saying to send you some rubber tubing and a gerbil or my account would be deleted - is that one true?  | |
