Yeah, I think that might be fishy, Roy.


LMAO

No legit digital establishment would ever ever ever ask for your password. Not never, not no how. Never in this digital age should you give your password to anyone. Period.

I can't believe some people even have to ask this.....

Did you notice that they spelled 'Windows' as 'Wndows"?

Not to mention the fact the first sentence doesn't make any damn sense at all.

this part is my favorite:

From: Wndows Live Team (ianjamieson@hotmail.com)

I'm assuming that members of Windows Live's team don't use their hotmail accounts to send out notices to users.

Well, I knew not to touch this. I did miss the Wndows part, for some reason the one line didn't copy, it used the Windows Live info.

I knew the password question was way to far beyond suspicion.

More or less, I guess I wanted to warn anybody on here of this and mentioned it wrongly OP... Oh well.

Glad to see we are all together with this crap.

people still use hotmail?

You see, that part didn't show up on my email or the other sentence until I cut and pasted it, but for some reason it did.

I did miss that part, I saw the password and said, hold on, RED FLAG.

As I said before, some of the stuff didn't show up until I cut and pasted it on here.

Uh, Yes, a lot of people do. I'm not a PC geek so if there is a better option, I'm all ears. I absolutely hate outlook express.
