There’s a hoax/phishing email doing the rounds called “Hotmail Activation 2009″. It came to my notice when a guy I know forwarded the same to me. While looking at the email at first glance almost (yes, almost!) convinced me it was genuine.

But then, I noticed certain grammatical errors in the email and also saw that the email was asking us to signup once again by clicking a button in the email. Look at the screenshot below:

Beware of the above email and if you see it being forwarded to you, immediately notify everyone down the chain (of emails) about this mail being a fake and also report to Microsoft.

In the meantime, I have reported about this email to Microsoft today itself and am awaiting their response. I will update my blog as soon as I get any response from them.
