It's true that Windows Live team asks customers to re-confirm their names, password and things like that before a certain date or they will delete the account?
I received the following message and it's in my junk e-mail folder, and I don't know if I should respond? Dear account owner
It is Windows Live Hotmail e-mail and we send it to you for your safety. Due to the anonymous registration of accounts that causes congestion at our service, we close some accounts and your account was among those to delete. The purpose of this message is to respond to you to verify that you are the owner of this account and using it again by completing the information below after clicking the button:

It's a scam. Don't answer and certainly do not provide them with any information they have requested.

Its a SCAM!
In the United States, you can contact the FBI, Attorney general, the police authorities and consumer
Watch groups. Arm yourself with knowledge.The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), funded in part by the Bureau of Justice Assistance
(BJA).
http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspxNo, Microsoft would not email or call you unsolicited. Or they would know if there were any errors
on your computer. So those are the frauds or scams to get your money or worse to steal your
identity.Avoid scams that use the Microsoft name fraudulently - Microsoft is not unsolicited
phone calls to help you fix your computer

It is a common phishing e-mail - it's bin.
The idea is in the links embedded in the headers of enamel and the request for information by e-mail
Sites form of legitimate emails will NEVER ask for personal information by e-mail (unless you started the conversation) - they STILL will be asked to log in and do what is necessary.

How determine if a Windows Live team, send "Account Alert" is real or spam?
In the (not so distant) past, I received (and completely) ignored mail, I was unable to discern really came from the Windows Live team. They claim that they are overcrowded and eliminate people have hotmail email accounts and I was among the elect. I'm afraid that this may be spam comes from (1) the past, similar e-mail unanswered, I received I did not had any effect on my account remains open and active and (2) if they are in fact compensation on free accounts, why then contain a list of very personal information to be completed and returned to them? Can someone please help, because I don't want my account to be closed? Others receive similar emails? Any insight and answers are greatly appreciated.
