Warning! Warning! Warning!
Here's some info on an email that the wife got in her Hotmail account.

Anyone that is tech savvy would see right away that it's a scam.

However, we all know folks that aren't so tech savvy, so tell any of your family, etc. to be on the lookout for it.

It looks pretty good VISUALLY, but the misspellings, gramme, and info asked for give it away.

LOL...some people never learn. I wonder if they thought that the Prince of Zimbabwe was giving them $20 Million for doing it.

Re: Warning! Warning! Warning!
What exactly does gaining access to somebody's WL Services enable you to do short of read their email? :/ nobody in their right mind uses Hotmail/Windows Live Mail for ANYTHING even remotely sensitive.

Oh? Erm... If I... had a friend who used a Hotmail account for pretty much all registrations, what should I tell him, why is it a bad idea?

Re: Warning! Warning! Warning!
The thing is, Windows Live isn't just tied to Hotmail though. The phone company here, Qwest, ties their DSL subscribers to WL so a lot of billing statements get sent there. I had to set this up for my brother when he first got a high speed connection and it's stupid how they have it tied to that and not to Qwest own network but that's how it's set up here. WL does this with other companies as well.
