Someone sent a message on my cell phone saying: Your yahoo email account is.......
Has anyone had this happen?
I can't find a reference online for this.
Thanks in advance.

MY EMAIL address. Do you want my email address?

My email is not linked to my cell phone number. That's the odd thing.

Yeah, it was there. I just took it off. Also read the "privacy policy".
Is this something easily hacked into?
Yahoo has some serious glitches they ought to fix.
