Question asked on May 21, 2012


I receive another email asking me to click on a link to confirm my Hotmail account.  Previously I was getting these asking me for my password and other personal information. I never responded.

I now received a message with an https address that they are asking me to click on to confirm my account. Are any of these legitimate? 

If this is not legitimate, why is it the Hotmail management does not find a way to block these?  Why is it that I never see any warnings about these emails when I log in?

Sometimes I get a number of these each day.



Thanks! 

Jerry G.
