Steve/Ohio Birds List Serve,
I realized as soon as I saw the message that it was not legitimate and I reported it to Yahoo; below is their reply. I had the same thing happen w/another group email list and eventually ended up having to discontinue due to the constant "spam/phishing" we were receiving. I hope Yahoo/ATT gets to the bottom of this and resolves it quickly.
If anyone else wants to file a complaint - if you'll need the original message; Then, you need to:
1) open it, click the "show full headers" button
2) copy/paste the whole thing into a new message
3) send with a note stating that you received this "spam/phishing" email through a group email list, and forward to:
