I used to get this one in yahoo mail. It's a scam. That's how they get ppl's account info and hack into the accounts.

Never fill in anything online that asks for your password. No-one else needs to know that, except you. If it is asked for then it is spam.

Anytime an email asks for my password or DOB I ignore it. Hotmail has your password and username. Sounds like they're phishing.
