OMG...I had a similar request from what seemed to be an authentic looking Yahoo email. I thought about it for about 3 seconds and said something is not right. They even went as far as telling me that there was a security breach with my password and that i needed to put in my old password so I can change it for a new one. I immediately left that page and went to my yahoo mail and personally changed my password from there.
