Now, my email address with Hotmail is free as far as i am aware, and has been in existence for several years. And furthermore it is one of 3 such addresses I have with them, through which no official business is conducted. Nothing has been received on the other two.</p>

So what are they up to?
</p>

 

Me thinks it's not from MSN themselves, mate.

 

I'm sure you are probs right. I didn't even open the link in case it contained a bug. It also says &quot;do not reply to this message&quot;</p>

Smells of scam.</p>
