I keep getting e-mails stating that my account has excedeed it's sending and receiving limit in the last 7 days and that Hotmail has suspended my account in order to prevent unwanted bots and spyware using my account. It requests to verify my account and lift the suspension limit by clicking on a link which simply open my email in a separate window. The title of the emails I get keeps changing but goes along the line of “Hotmail e-mail blocked! SPL-Code: 87-x-09) 2-September 2012 [IP Address],ryan,ryan‏”. Is this REAL?

I have no idea what they are talking about as automatic updates is turned on; don't they have a way of already knowing that?
