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?]

I never had a problem with hotmail until now. I've been blackened compromise possible secruity. I was told my password has been cancelled and apply for another. Unfortunately if necessary my old password submitted to receive a new. When I finally found a way to recover by using the same address as before, but with a new password to my email that I had saved from the beginning had disappeared. Where at - it go? Insult to injury, I just received my first two emails from my windows live account. One was a spammer, that's why I was told I have locked in a first time, and the other was microsoft answers thank me to register but don't sponsor not why my email is apparently sent to another address. I said to visit the options I have. Futile. There must be a response and I believe that when I find what is wrong, it will be something simple but neglected. Something like a breach in Protocol that we all followed which allows for compatibillity between competeing components so that the computer can work with cohesion and with little delay. Kind of like internet explore works well with active x, but the msn does not work. All ducks must be in a line, and I'm afraid m9ne maybe not. I need a convenience store. I sent an e-mail to a friend here in my living room, and she has not received it. I had a friend in Detroit send me one yesterday he he not arive. My other three email accounts work perfectly? Weird. If you have any ideas I could try, it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Dusty

I received an email that appears to come from the Windows Live team and contains MSN icons. It is said that it is the final notice about a update of 2011 and asks I answered and confirm several pieces of personal information within 2 weeks or my account will be permanently closed. He asked that I come home from a series of letters to confirm the validity of the email. It is said that it is because there is a change in the service. This is spam and if so, how to report, because there certainly seems genuine, but looks very suspicious. The sender is * address email is removed from the privacy *.

Windows live account ~ just had my account notification invalid windows live ~ is it a scam?
You can still use your Windows Live account?
Change the password on this topic (in the normal way - just be wise on this subject), and then try again. If you can still access - you have almost been victim of the scam.
That - unless he hacked already - it's probably.

I've been locked out of my HOTMAIL and there is nobody to talk with to allow me access to it. I had to sign with another user for the Live ID account, and I can't get back my regular HOTMAIL account. A hacker sent letters to everyone in my e-book asking money from them to get out me of Cyprus. I don't understand all this madness. I just want my account back but you refuse to allow me to connect. I'm locked up. Give advice on how to recover my account.
