I am suspicious about this e-mail and wanted to know that has any one of you recieved such e-mails?

When in doubt - contact Yahoo

How do I report a phishing email or web site?
Quickly reporting a fraudulent email or web site helps us better protect you and your fellow Yahoo! members.

Report a phishing email

If you received an email that says it's from Yahoo! or another trusted source but you suspect it might be a phishing email, forward the email to phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com. For information about identifying potential phishing emails, see How can I recognize a phishing email?

That's a scam. It's good you didn't reply to it. EzyStvy's link is just what you need.
