  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.

• Is this a legitimate employee for Windows Live team (* address email is removed from the privacy *)

  A warning message came to my Junk mailbox about the status of my account, but it requires a lot of personal information.  How can I know if this
  It is a legitimate site?

  Hello

  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).

  No, 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

• Received email just "wimdows live team" display "widows live alert." What is a Windows Live scam?

  Received email just "wimdows live team" display "widows live alert." My contact information cannot be verified, said, and give the link to confirm. Is this legitimate or a scam

  Hello JohnH1001,

  Based on these latest incarnations of Windows Live e-mail it's probably a scam. If you read the email carefully, you probably will find that English is not as good as it should consider that it is supposed to come from a multinational company like Microsoft.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.
