WARNING TO HOTMAIL USERS - Spoof Email

5 replies
See the email I got below. It is a scam but innocent people will fall for it.
Some will not only lose their hotmail account, but also reveal their
Paypal, Credit Card and Banking info within.

DO NOT submit your email & password to them!

DO NOT REPLY AT ALL!!

YOU WILL NOT lose your hotmail account UNLESS you fill their request.

    Yes, even yahoo (and obviously other email providers)
    get such emails.

    So, for those who didn't know, you should be careful
    of such, to avoid getting into trouble.
