Recieved email from hotmail team *** Email address is removed for privacy *** stating I have trojan in my hotmail and they need information if they don't recieve what they ask for my hotmail will be shut down. Is this real?
I have received two posts saying Hotmail needs me to reapply or my account will be closed permanently.
I think this is bogus but want to make sure. The signature is Microsoft with an apology for any inconvenience.
"or else" my account will be deleted? and when I click on the link it asks me to login to my email provider? I smell scam. some one confirm if this is legit.
here is the text of the email:
"Dear [*** Email address is removed for privacy ***]:

Oddly enough the first sentence "Mail is holding the message you sent because your email address is not verified" was the tip off since I have not sent anything on Hotmail in some time.
I don't understand how to fix this problem. I lost my whole contact list where i would send messages in live mail. I can't seem to find it back. I was trying to compose an email to a contact and I was not able to correct spelling errors or make any changes. I then lost the message and the entire content of the message that I had spent about an hour composing. When I tried to start over I had no contact list to address the message to so I could compoase a message. I seem to have lost messages that I had not openned. Yet. when I tried to look for help and customer service or tech service to ask questions about what was happening I was fustrated by not being able to find anything. I don't know what happened and I don't know how to clean up what is left or if I need to down load or buy new software.
I am working in on an XP system and trying to find the windows 7 disk that also came with the machine but I am not having any luck with the disk or how to find what I have to do to upgrade to windows 7. I think I need to go back to a typewriter because when this screws up I can't get it fixed.
Where do I find information on how to fix something that is wrong and happend slow long ago I don't I don't know when the problem occured. i don't even know how I got into this box to write this message. If anyone answeres this I will probably never find were their answer is and the information is and what I need to do get this part of the software working again.
As a stockholder in this corporation I do not know how our customers put up with this lack of service and support or help when the thing breaks. He I am several weeks after the mess up and I never could find out how to fix my software so I can communicate wtih previous contacts any more. It is kind of come down to throw the computer away and go buy a new computer and hope I can figure out Windows 8 so I can use the internet and email again.
I guess I need to give up trying to write code for Access applications.

I find this a suspicious e-mail: is it phishing or legitimate?
