Yahoo fake login? or not?

I got the following in my yahoo E-mail inbox. It looks like a spoof to me, what do you reckon? I clicked on the link and it takes me to a yahoo login screen. I'll paste the link if necessary.

Check the address, and see if the yahoo site is an authentic one. You might also want to send an email to Yahoo yourself, to confirm this information.

Fake.

Yup .... definitely a con

A similar thing was going around a while ago but then it was for Paypal. An attempt to try to get credit card numbers.

Definitely a scam!

Looks dodgy to me, anyway I imagine there's probably a way to check and update your billing information without following given links, but as already said email yahoo for confirmation.

Cheers guys I have mailed Yahoo for confirmation.
