I have Windows Hotmail and I recently got an e-mail asking that I reconfirm my information because they said someone has tried to get into my account.

 

They said to resend my information otherwise I lose my account. When I went to reply- there was what lookled like a personal hotmail account e-mail. This looks like a scam. Can you call me and let me know what to do? My number is <removed by the moderator> 

Where is the "Receive" button?

I maybe stupid asking this but after using Outlook Express for the past 8 years on my old XP computer i find using Windows Live hotmail on my new Windows 8 machine somewhat baffling at times. I cannot seem to find a way of asking for any new e mails on demand and find myself just having to wait for as and when i get them delivered, any pointers please.

Hi,
I've received an email from 'MAIL' asking me to verify my details otherwise my email account will be deactivated. The source is 'Newssend .com' 
I am suspicious this is a phishing scam.
Advice welcomed.

I received an e-mail from "windows live" asking me to verify my account info because there was a change. Is this legit or part of the Linked-in fiasco hacking?
