Hi there,

I’ve never once received a spoof email trying to hack into my hotmail account but I knew it was only a matter of time.  The below email was sent to my Hotmail account.  Please be careful when it comes to dealing with “Authentic” emails.  More often than not they are spoofs.  Remember, most companies will not ask for any information through an email or a link in an email.  Remember to always sign into your account through the main sign in page and go from there.  That’s why this email made me laugh so hard.  Whenever you come across suspicious looking emails it’s better to be safe than sorry.
