Ok is anyone with a yahoo account getting those emails..

with ***ACCOUNT UNLOCKDOWN*** on the subject heading?

Saying you have to upgrade or you'll lose all the your emails? It sound like a fake notice to me.

So anyone else getting them?

Yes!

I got one about two weeks ago that told me I had 8 days to upgrade my account or I would lose all my e-mails ant etc., but I ignored it because I thought it was a fake...and nothing happened so I guess it was a fake after all.

Write to Admin if you find something not to your liking....

I did, and we came to a mutually agreeable solution.

Yep, scam

If you click on the link, you will download a virus onto your computer/phone/tablet, etc. I received it as well, but the address it was sent from did not match Yahoo's e-mail accounts. When Yahoo upgrades their mail, it is usually on the page where your inbox is, and will ask if you want to upgrade to the new mail, or continue to use the "classic" mail...they don't send e-mails.

Oh, and I only received this e-mail in my provider Yahoo....my personal Yahoo did not receive this e-mail..hence, it is someone getting e-mails addresses from one of these boards.

A few diff fake ones

Yup, got a Lockdown Email but I ignored it. There was another one that went out but the other email that went out actually had a misspelling which was a dead giveaway to it being a fake. And how is Yahoo going to lock me out of my email if I don't "upgrade". Um, it's up to me and my computer or android as to what version I use and want to have installed. These hackers are creative just not creative enough in my book!
