Forward the message to yahoo!

Delete it!

Wait for an admin to help you.

Do not open it.

I got a really authentic looking one from "ebay" last week. The tip-off was, they were asking for passwords and bank info.

Let the fraud division take care of it.

I got the same thing, except it had my domain on it, and said the message was sent from the(mydomain).com email team. Except the domain is my company's name.com and the email is run by another company, so there is no mycompany.com email team.

Always ignore/delete messages with attachments that you aren't expecting. And check message properties to make sure they come from who they say they are.
