running

out of resources. So, within a month's time, anyone who

does not

receive this email with the exact subject heading, will be

deleted off our server.Please forward this email so that

Hotmail

accounts. So if you are using your account, please pass

this

e-mail to every Hotmail user that you can and if you do

not pass

this letter to anyone we will delete your account.

From Mr. Jon Henerd

Hotmail Admin. Dept.

Our hotmail system is getting to crowded!! We need you to forward
this to at least 20 people. I know this seems like a large number,
but we need to find out who is really using their account. If you
do not send this to at least 10 Hotmail members, we will delete
your account. Sorry for this inconvenience.

Sincerely, Director of Hotmail Services

Aaron Lopez

Its forwarded to about 50 different people, is it legitimate? Do you think its jsut a chain letter or will they beable to get my login details what would you do?

No. Load of cr*p. Just a chain letter.

Avoid like the plague! If they did happen to delete your account then can't you re-register?

thats what i thought! not sure wether to forward it or not!

I would say get rid - it's spam

I'd delete it - sounds like a load of rubbish to me. Hotmail don't run their business this way.

ok gonna delete the e.mail

it's a lot of rubbish Just ignore it.

Not the smallest chance it's legit -- just another chain letter.

Apart from anything else, it's full of grammatical, spelling and punctuation errors.

Nope- I didn't get one for my account. Sounds fishy, don't do anything but delete it.

Have saved it and sent an e.amil to Hotmail managers to let them know its circulating im NOT replying, thanks

you did the right thing charlee.

Re another Hotmail issue - has anyone else discovered messages in their Sent folder that they definitely didnt send, and received replies to said messages?

It has happened to both dh and me, after using internet cafes, but there is no obvious spam or virus involved, the messages seem to be quite genuine ones from other hotmail users. Im not sure exactly what is going on. Have any of you admins out there heard about this?

daytime bump - Id really like to know the answer to this one!
