I have received a few of the emails below citing the necessity to delete all unused Hotmail accounts, due to congestion and such. The problem with this type of email is that it is asking for "Your" username and password. I am sure that all of you know that you never provide your username and password, as this will give the dishonest people complete access to your account and information on your account.
I have received this scam on Yahoo, Gmail, and Hotmail, so please be aware of this email and disregard. If you know how to do this, copy the header information of the email and forward it to the abuse email accounts at Yahoo, Gmail, or Hotmail.
Again, Just an FYI.
Thanks,
K.C.
