i recently read a message that was sent to my account dated the 10th november 2012 claiming itself from msn stateing that they deactivating accounts to make space to new members and so they are asking for specific information as of the following:1) Name : 2) Date of Birth : 3) Your Email: 4) Username : 5) Password:

is this a con from another user or is this a legitimate e-mail becoaue when i selected reply the my computer said it didnt no the sender and it could possibly do me more harm then good?

I have received an email claiming to be from Microsoft requesting username, password and date of birth. Does MSN have an address to forward this email to for verification that it was sent by MSN?
This email does not look like any ever received from Hotmail.  It has  red, blue, yellow & black lettering.
I have received a couple of emails from "Windows Live" saying that it has detected a virus in my email folders and MSN will shut down my account unless i provide information such as full name, date of birth, user name, password, country etc. so that it can install a new version of virus protection.  Is this a legitimate request or a scam?
Received an email in my Hotmail account that appeared legitimate.  Found out it was a scam, after I gave my username, password and date of birth, as the email stated my account would be terminated....my "account had not been updated" was the statement.  Yep - stupid!  Even though I changed my password, I won't feel secure until everything is changed (obviously, can't change my date of birth).  So, looking to find out how to change how my name appears as well as my username. Thank you.
