Spam, I reckon. Yahoo would surely address you by name?

Sounds like a dodgy E-Mail.

Yahoo has some advice on how to recognise genuine communications from them on their website. You can click on the padlock icon in Safari's address bar to verify that this page really belongs to Yahoo (since you got the link from some random ne'er do well on the internet).
