There is a mail from hotmail live team in my account asking to give login-id, password and other personal details. It has hyperlinks linking to Microsoft sites. It says if the info is not given in 48 hours the account will freeze. It also gives the procedure
to back heavy files saying that hotmail servers are choked. Is this mail which sounds authentic from microsoft or some hacker?

I have received email supposedly from windows live telling me that I have to confirm personal info or my account will be cancelled is this a fake or is it real !!
It gives me a link but the link doesnot work or it takes me to Bird in hand restaurant . It says I have 24hrs to confirm or I loose my account :(
Some pretenting to be from Hotmail support team is asking my personal info including my DOB. Also saying if I dont update my account with these info my account will be shut down. Is it genuine request or fraud ? Any one had the same experience ?
I keep receiving emails, suposedly, from either windows live team or msn customer care, asking for personal info like user id, password, date of birth, and country of origin. I can I find out if these emails are legit or some attempt at id theft and if
it is phoney how and who do i report them to?
Unless I provide my personal information to update my account, they say I am going to lose my hotmail account permenantly.
I do not know if this is really the msn hotmail sending this email to me.
Please advise if I need to respond with my personal info to update my account.
One that sent me this notice is (Removed PII)
thanks
