It's real. I didn't open it before I checked my account at hotmail and when I signed in I had to do the verifiction that I done when I opened it (type in the letters from the picture) |

Hotmail doesn't open links by clicking them, you have to copy and paste, and we know hotmail.msn.com is legit, so it works out (I sign up for things that I don't trust not to give out my email with a hotmail account). |

Hotmail works just fine for me, i kinda prefer it to GMail. Hence why my GMail account has gone unused since i got it basically, and my hotmail is used pretty much everyday. |

I have Gmail too, but I like that I can use hotmail with outlook (my account is old). Gmail isn't as friendly with outlook. Email is email to me anyway. I guess I'm the only one having probs, I cut my junk mail filter to Low, I'll see if that helps. I wasn't using it anyway. Haven't had any junk |

Yet another reason not to use Hotmail IMO :rolleyes: Well this hasn't happened to me strangly, dunno what they're playing at. It obviously seems legitimate, but I have no idea why they're being so stupid with you :blink: I always thought Microsoft was silly :/ |

Ahem, sorry to hear that. I don't got any problem like that at all. Maybe you could change your email. You can use this old oen for IMing and a new one for whatever reasons! |

A GMail invite is what someone can send to you so you can get GMail. Currently it's the only way to get a GMail account. Basically they enter your current e-mail address (such as an @hotmail.com or @yahoo.com one), and an invite is sent. You click the link in the invite and can get your own GMail account. Wheee

Doesn't Hotmail/MSN have some sort of spoof address to report Hotmail/MSN staff impersonations/spoofs like spoof@hotmail.com or spoof@msn.com? Anyway, that email sounds like it wouldn't come from Hotmail/MSN staff. And generally, links in these spoof mailings may *look* like they take you to the real site when it doesn't. For example: https://www.paypal.com/ So, where does that link take you? Ok, it is a little more complicated then that as they use 7-BIT Printable ASCII Characters like a which is a lowercase a. |

I never actually followed the link. The subject of the message was something like "go to hotmail", I did, I logged in and then it asked me to verify. I think I'll just stick to Gmail, might be safer :D. Thanx folks |
