Verify Your Yahoo Account SCAM

This scam seem real and quite frightening if you are not very aware of the online world.
There is spelling error and the email address is not convincing at all. Why would yahoo's admin use marta@yahoo.com as the email address?
This email is just not formal enough to be believable.
