No, and I've a couple of Yahoo mail accounts.
is it spam or not.
For things like that, go to the Yahoo website and check for news or notices. Or plug some of the text into a search engine. You should be able to find something that helps you work out whether something's a scam, or not.
Things like Yahoo or Hotmail which were going to do such things to their users would throw some click-through page into their webmail login page.

Don't do it. It is a Phish to steal your Yahoo account information.
Always read the headers of any message you get asking for information like this. You will find that most, if not all, of them are not from the claimed domains.
