Alright, has anyone gotten this in their Hotmail inbox?

Hiii!

long time yeah? no see? ...
anyway here you go
Very Interesting... :P

It's Easy, Secure and Free!

Try it Now, Click Here

Yours Truly

of course, the "click here" is a hyperlink...i made the mistake of clicking there yesterday and ended up on some advertizing site (I'm not going to post it because i really don't want to click it again nor do i want others to click it, just in case). So it seems now that "I" have been sending emails to others with the same thing...ummm...not to my knowledge. I'm currently running spybot and plan to run MWB in a bit.

Allegedly sent to me (and likely everyone in her address list) by a friend who has a hotmail account.

Traced the web site down to someone in Hong Kong.

The site I went to (secured box) was an attempt to persude someone that they had been blocked by a friend in Hotmail.
To determine who, all you have to do is type in your hotmail address and your password.

Standby for Novembers rush of "my hotmail account was hacked".

Perhaps we need to respond with, "No it wasn't you were a dumb a** that provide them the keys". ;-) :-)

...i didn't put my addy or password into anything...but it's annoying none the less...i seem to be getting them from just about everyone on my contact list...i had been ignoring them, but curiousity got the best of me yesterday (i know DA! ;) )...spybot came clean as did MWB, so i think i'm good...might run bitdefender online scanner tomorrow for another double check...more than anything, i was just wondering how many other folks were getting the same type of email.

but i have it tied to my Outlook and had been checking it spuratically the last week or so and keep finding these emails...i'm thinking about dropping it off pretty soon if this keeps up

I don't have a Hotmail account.
I was just in her address book.
