Is hotmail and live mail make changes? I received several emails that seem to want a lot of personal information. Is this phishing or real?

Its likely phishing.  Don't answer unsolicited and provide personal information - NEVER!  The holiday season has still caused an incredible amount of emails from spam and phishing.

    Avoid scams that use the Microsoft name fraudulently

    Cybercriminals often include the names of well-known companies, such as ours, in their scams. They think it will convince you to give them money or your personal information. While they usually use e-mail to you wrong, that they sometimes use the phone instead.

    Common scams that use the Microsoft name

    • "You have won the Microsoft Lottery"
    • Microsoft "requires credit card information to validate your copy of Windows.
    • Microsoft sends unsolicited e-mail with attached security updates
    • A person of "Microsoft Support" calls to fix your computer

    Avoid these dangerous hoaxes

    We do not send unsolicited e-mail or make unsolicited telephone calls asking for personal information or financial or repair your computer.

    If you receive an unsolicited e-mail or phone call which is supposed to be from Microsoft, and request that you send personal information or click on the links,delete the email or hang up the phone .

    You did not win the "Microsoft Lottery".

    Microsoft customers are often the target of a scam that uses e-mail messages falsely promising money. Victims receive messages saying: 'You have won the Microsoft Lottery!' There is no Microsoft Lottery. Delete the message.

    If you have lost money to this scam, report it . You can also send the police report to Microsoft and we will use it to help law enforcement catch criminals who send these e-mails.

    For more information, see Microsoft report fraud Lottery . To protect yourself against these e-mail hoaxes, you can use the same general orientation you use to protect yourself from phishing scams to protect you from these e-mail hoaxes.

    Microsoft sends no communication unsolicited on security updates

    When we publish information about a security software update or security incident, send us e-mail messages only to subscribers of our security communications program.

    Unfortunately, Cybercriminals have benefited from this program. They sent fake security messages that appear to come from Microsoft. Some messages to attract the recipients to Web sites to download spyware or other malicious software. Others include an attachment that contains a virus . Delete the message. Do not open the attachment.

    Legitimate security communications from Microsoft

    • Legitimate communications do not include software updates as attachments. We never attach software updates to our security communications. On the contrary, we refer customers to our Web site for more information on the update or the software security incident.
    • Legitimate communications are also on our websites. If we provide information about a security update, you can also find this information on our Web sites.
