Does Microsoft/Hotmail actually send you an email saying you have received too many messages? And then ask you to “confirm” your information? Or is this a virus scam?

Received an email supposedly from microsoft/hotmail - It gives Message ID 66198 - says I need to confirm my identity etc as I have received too much email in the last 7 days.  Is this a scam or for real.   Strange thing is Hotmail's spam filters indicate there may be an issue with the message.  Do I just dump it?  Or do I really need to confirm information to get getting my emal.

thanks
