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.

"Warning!!! Account owner that refuses to update his or her account before 48Hours of receiving this warning will lose his or her account permanently."

You were too late when you received it! It was to be done 48 hours before it ever got to you! LOLOL!

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.

yes!!! Do not give them any info. That is just spam.

Definitely a scam.

no legitimate thing would ever ask you for your password.
Let it go!!!
Delete!!!

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