Validate my yahoo account
i received the below message in my yahoo e-mail this morning: I did not open the message. Is the message ok to open? It just looks suspicious. WOT gave it a red alarm indication after click here. Please give me some advise on what to do with this!! Thanks. I have had an Yahoo mail account for many years and have never been asked to do this before.

Hi Evermore,
I get the same warning when clicking on the link to nazuka.net (supposedly Yahoo?)
According to the first comment at WOT:
"This website is classified as a phishing website.
It is associated with attempts to acquire sensitive information such as user names, passwords and credit card
details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity.
You should not enter confidential information on this website."

If I were you, I would delete that email.
