I immediately replied and answered the questions, but then I thought, what if this is a scam to extract personal information, so I copied the the questionnaire and sent it to the yahoo alert center.  I received a reply that they would check into it.  This morning I couldn't get into my e-mail account so I had to jump a bunch of hoops and reset my password.  I hope none of you have this happen to you.
