No doubt it's a scam, but it didn't need all those line spaces to be posted as well - they just make things harder to read or even to maintain ones' interest.

(I've answered this question so many times that I now keep this answer on my desktop and just copy and paste....that should give you a clue!)
Reply:No, it isn't. The e-mail it was sent from doesn't even have "Yahoo!" in it... and why would Yahoo need personal information such as name, address, age, and others... they already have that information from when you signed up!
Reply:No.
Reply:Its a con, why would Yahoo show a hotmail address???????????
Reply:What do you think. Did you buy a ticket ? One born everyday
Reply:What do you think? NO!
Reply:No, its fraudulent. Don't reply to it.
