Well, this is actually an email spam I've received with the following details below:
The following Internet user is using "Yahoo" name in the subject line to get his email spam opened. This is a very sensitive issue to "Yahoo's privacy". The spammer thought that her or his prospects are ignorant Internet users, because s/he sent this spam with the following Return-Path: yahoomaillotto @ msn.com. Strange return pass isn't it.

Legitimate organizations use email addresses which are verifiable as an organization. They will never use hotmail, yahoo or gmail. Legitimate organizations have proper websites where these details can be checked. Lastly, if you still wonder, use surface mail to the company involved. They will invariably come back with scam confirmed.
