I recently received the email attached below. I am not comfortable giving my private/secure info out via unsolicited email. Is this a scam??? Please advise.
Outlook® accounts have been growing really fast.
We are having too many congested email due to the anonymous registration of accounts on our database system. Please reconfirm your email account and information so that it will be recorded in our new database system.
We need you to reply and fill in the information below within one week or you will lose your account permanently.
*Username
*Password
*Date of birth
*Country or Territory
Here are some ways to help you manage your account after you reconfirm it.
- Create an archive - Set up a folder on your PC’s hard drive where you can save large attachments, then just delete them from your inbox. You’ll still have them, and your inbox will be much smaller.
- Make your filters work for you- Did you know you can set up your Hotmail account to immediately delete junk e-mails? Go to Options, and click Filters and reporting. Under the “Delete junk e-mail” section, select Immediately to delete junk e-mail right away. Once you’re finished, click Save and you’re done.
- Delete a bunch of mail at once- Go to your Junk and Deleted folders, and clear them out by clicking the “Empty” button in the action bar.
Sincerely,
Outlook Team
