HELLO MICROSOFT,

I received a very suspicious email(not unlike one I received before..but more detailed from someone name *** Email address is removed for privacy *** who claims to be with Microsoft Live Team.  She sent an email saying my account was going to be DELETED due to not using it(inactivity) but I use my hotmail account almost everyday.  And she askes for my password, etc.

(* Username:...........................
* Password:............................
* Date of Birth:.......................
* Country Or Territory:...........
* Alternative e-mail: .............
* Password:.........................

These six items are what is asked of me and it came directly to my inbox and not my junk box. So, outlook did not filter it?

I am pasting the entire email below: again I am suspicious of this and do not understand why I keep getting them with your company information connected to it: Please respond in a timely manner. Because I refuse to give out this information to this email and I do not want my account deleted!!!

HERE IS THE EMAIL I RECEIVED:
