The message seemed shady, claiming to be from Yahoo and asking about a password reset I never requested; I doubt Yahoo ever calls users.
Phishing Alert from Bogus Tech Support

Expert Opinion
Receiving a call claiming to be from Yahoo about a password reset you didn't request raises red flags, as legitimate companies rarely contact users this way for security issues. This sounds like a classic phishing scam where fraudsters try to trick you into revealing personal info or clicking malicious links. Hang up immediately if you get such calls—don't engage or provide any details. To stay safe, contact Yahoo directly through their official website or app to check your account status. Enable two-factor authentication on your accounts for added protection, and report the number to the FTC at ftc.gov/complaint. Scammers often spoof caller IDs, so verify independently before trusting.
