Snow,

This is an obvious PHISHING scam, trying to STEAL your yahoo e-mail account from you.   

(Anything stressing URGENCY [must confirm within 24 hours], with a THREAT of blocking/disabling your account if you fail to comply ... is a suspicious give-away here).

1)  Do *NOT* click on their link.   Just ignore it, and you should be fine.   [If, for any reason, you wish to contact yahoo, you should do so directly, through their home page.   But (as long as you don't click on the phony link), there's no need for you to do so.

2) Please immediately EDIT your post, to remove the UPDATE link (or, if necessary, this entire post), so that no one else will get trapped if they click on it.   We never want a live, BAD link in these forums.
