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.

[Is there no way to get to Windows/Microsoft to report on things without having to go through the Forum?]
