• I received an email from microsoft application information name, password, e-mail address and if I don't answer inside two weeks I'll lose my account. Is this real or a scam?

  For these last two days I've received a message on my email that says I have two weeks to put my name, email and password in the form and verify who I am or I'll lose my hotmail account. It telling me it has to do with security, and I was among those who are chosen. It's true, I ignored the premiera but today I had another, first said he would cut in 24 hours, now its two weeks.

  You will never receive an e-mail from Microsoft asking you personal information such as your password.  It is a scam.

  I get emails from Microsoft saying that I have the Virus DGTFX and must give them my name, address, city, I was born to, country where I live.  Doesn't Microsoft already have this information, and is this another scam?
