Definitely don't do it...my boyfriend gets e-mails like this from some places that he never subscribed to! Yahoo already has all of this information (password, date of birth, country) from when you registered for your account, so I believe that they would be contacting you in a different way, not asking for this personal info. I hope this helps!
