We received lots of these kind of emails too. It doesn't landed in the bulk but right into the inbox folder of our Yahoo mailbox. I can't believe Yahoo would abuse it's users with these phishing mails of scams and spams. Reporting those as spams doesn't stop it from coming back either. And to think that there's no recipient included in these emails is very upsetting.
