Yahoo's "blue" emails? This is a scam, right?

[Papa Deuce]

All real mail from Yahoo has that blue color right? I think someone is trying to run a scam. Since last night I have 3 emails from "yahoo" ( I don't think it is, at all ) saying my account will be suspended... and it has an attachment.

But I am not so web savvy as to figure out how is says it is from yahoo.com without it actually being from Yahoo. Some kind of spoofing?

It is a virus. Dont open it. I got one too. I sent it to Yahoo and they confirmed it wasnt from them.

Yahoo does not warn you about suspending your account. They just close it with no way of getting it back. I know first hand.
