I wish to thank all who responded to my question. Being 80yrs old and not too smart on computer stuff sometimes makes it hard to comprehend what is going on with the internet workings, again thanks for the responses.

I'll bet you're smarter than a lot of people, nafecar! You knew enough to question the e-mail, which many people still don't do. When in doubt, ask. That's how most people learn.

Nafe, bless you, sweetie! I'm glad you came here and asked, and very glad you didn't click on the link. Those hackers are good at making things look "official".

I always look to see who is really sending the message.

Edited to say that I point to the sender and it shows where it comes from.

Keep on NOT opening that attachment!

I hate when people use their age as an excuse. When in doubt, don't. NO reputable company is going to ask for personal information by e-mail. Never respond to an e-mail and if you do have a question, contact the company via phone. As posted, never click on a link or open an e-mail from someone you don't know.

I don't understand what some people get out of being so darn rude.

The OP asked a simple question.

I keep getting fake Kohls emails. They say I qualify for a Kohls gift certificate. I know it's not real though. I've also been receiving a lot of other strange mail recently. I just delete all.

Do NOT click on the attachment! Chances are, this is a scam. Contact Yahoo separate from the email. For what it's worth, I use Yahoo for email, too, and haven't received anything like you're describing.

ITA. DO NOT OPEN, and report this to Yahoo.

I had the same thing happen with another email account and I reported it and it was a scam. Had this happens with a bank too.

They are miserable in their lives and this is their pathetic way of coping. Happiness is a habit and some of the posters out here are despicable. glb613 and chrystaltree are so hurtful to others. Sad that they enjoy being rude and hateful.

And never open anything unsolicited with a "zip" file attached! Nafecar, not everyone is computer savvy, and these scammers, if they can get ONE person to respond out of 1000 they send out, well, that is all they need...
