Everyone!! Have you been getting these Scam E-mails that has messages like this on your Hotmail e-mails?  I'd received a few of them already, One from Roberto's e-mail which I know Roberto didn't send. I think some Scammer has managed to Hacked Hotmail e-mails making these Scam e-mails by using our hotmail e-mails. My Hotmail one was hacked someone using my e-mail address to send these to my Windows Live Contacts. If you see these Scam e-mails, Don't blame it on that Original person that has that E-mail as it wasn't the original Person that e-mailed that. The one I got from Roberto I know It wasn't Roberto that send me that. So guys, BE VERY AWARE AND CAUTIOUS ABOUT THIS... JB, Can youflag this topic an Sticky or Announcement as this is a serious issue, mate? |

I've gotten a few of these as well. Of course, I've never clicked any of the links within the emails. :zaru:

I got one very similar to this from ally. I was gonna yell at her, but I figured she wouldn't enjoy being yelled at for something that she didn't do. Go figure. :zaru: Anyway, I don't think this should be stickied. Spam mails happen all the time, and even ones from emails you think you know aren't anything new. Anyone with half a brain in regards to the internet would know not to click the links. |

I'll "stickify" this one.
The e-mail was sent to about 10 people, some of them bounced back, and were deleted.
Afterwards, they disappeared from my Deleted folder.
And Microsoft has already implemented a security filter to deal with SPAM.

Hmm, Well, I advise you might wanna change your hotmail password now since you've clicked it. That's what happneed with my one by mistake, I tried to press the delete button, With lack of speed connection, stupid thing made it click the link which I didn't want it to happen. And now someone using my hotmail has now send those Horrible scam e-mails. |

Ash-y, it's a bot who sends those messages, it's not a person.
