Anyone want to tackle this?

It's in my yahoo email. I BELIEVE it's at the top. (i.e. item #1).

Is "LOOSE" now the generally accepted spelling of *lose*?

Please advise.

1. This appears to be a typical phishing attempt...

3. I'm starting to get ( i.e. receive) emails.....

.... ( including FROM me TO me) so I guess it was an empty threat.

New Mac here.... so I thought they might have picked up on the changeover; and found it an exploitable situation.

Anything more to do?

6. Phishing attempt.

Any real email from yahoo would have your name on it.
"Dear valued customer" or any variation thereof is the dead giveaway every time.
Any legit correspondence from yahoo, google, your bank, credit card or anyone else would have your name since they know it.
