Sounds to me like a scam.

Hotmail have never to my knowledge EVER asked for username and password in a email.

Think its a scam man, and they are pretty easy to pull off.

Cheers

I just ignore those messages, but what really sucks, is when a bunch of n00bie friends email ya tons of messages about how Hotmail is gonna close your account if you don't do this or that, etc. etc.

Those messages from your own friends are more annoying than the spam messages themselves.

So yeah, lots of people do fall for crap like that, lol.
