The email is asking for my name, password, date of birth and territory/country within the email. It was sent to my msn.com email address not a hotmail.com address.
This is the email that I received:
Welcome to Hotmail
The efficient way to do e-mail
Windows MSN Hotmail is faster, safer than ever before and filled with new
ways to stay in touch. Storage space that grows with you means you shouldn't have to worry about deleting your e-mail, and the new calendar makes it easy to share your schedule with family and friends. Due to increased spam and phishing activities globally,
