Is this a scam?

[wendmatt]

I'm thinking of course but it still has me concerned.

We are currently carrying out an upgrade on
our system due to the fact that it has come
to our notice that one or more of our
subscribers are introducing a very strong
virus into our system and it is affecting
our network.We are trying to find out the
specific person.

For this reason all subscribers are to
provide their USER NAME AND PASSWORD for us
to verify and have them cleared against
this virus. Failure to comply will lead to
the termination of your Account in the next
48 hours.

Information to send;
EMAIL ADDRESS:
USERNAME:
PASSWORD:
Hoping to serve you better.
Sincerely,
YAHOO MAIL Support

I don't think any reputable sight asks you for your password. That's a huge red flag to me. I'd forward the e-mail to someone (not sure who) at Yahoo for investigation.

If they ask for your username and password, it's ALWAYS a scam.

Scam all the way.

It absolutely is a scam. You should never provide such information to anyone. Report it as spam if possible.

Thanks, just what I thought. I know no one will ask for password so I forwarded it to the address someone posted.
