Hello Amberbaggott,
As well as the excellent advice already given, you should also note the link given by the sender address. If you run your mouse over the link and look to the bottom left of the window you will see that, that takes you to the web page of updateweb.live.com, it is actually takes you to another Web page called rileyandren.altervista.org/index.html. Never, never click on the link bubble just your mouse to display the destination web page.
This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

Scam: there's a scam email autour, supposed to come from a "Windows Live Account"
I wanted to just warn you that there is a scam email autour, supposed to come from a "Windows Live Account" saying that your about to be closed if you do not provide account details [name of user, password, date of birth, etc.] so that your account can be "improved." The email is poorly written [bad grammar, etc.], but lists the corporate name of Microsoft and the address at the bottom.

Scam email? Right?
I got an email from PayPal saying I paid for a subscription of 39 dollar to Skype, but I don't even have a Paypal account, it is a scam, right?
Tayshaun Hey,
I have checked our records and you are right. There is no recent orders in your Skype account. If you receive an email that you suspect fraudulent, please DO NOT open the attachments to the email, the response to the email, or click on the links in the email.
I suggest you contact PayPal for more information on the e-mail you received.
Regarding e-mails from Skype, they never address anonymously. They will always contain your name or Skype name. The information they contain are either on skype.com site, or on your account page.____________________________________________________________________________________________

Another scam Email [was: Bernard]
I received two emails claiming to be from Microsoft Support Center tells me someone in Tokyo tried to access my account. After the first I called my computer support person, he said it's probably a scam, delete. Today, I got the same message with the same information. How can I know if is is legitimate or not?
Think of your tech support person. Microsoft does not contact individuals by e-mail or telephone to tell them that their computer has been attacked, his account has been compromised, or something similar.
If you are unsure of the foregoing... what email told you to? Call a number without fees or go to a poll official website?
If it's a phone number, enter the number in a Google search and see what the results are.
Links in emails are trickier because they can be disguised. Just because a link says www.microsoft.com, click top can take you somewhere else entirely. Try clicking on the link in the previous sentence (it's safe). You can see the actual code behind any email, but the techniques to vary depending on what mail program you use.
