The moment i read this i'm like: is this the reason i cant sign in my msn?
and i feel like replying but then from the sender it looks suspicious,
although the name of the sender is Windows Live Team but the email address is a hotmail account. Feeling abit insecure, i paste my email and google search it.
And luckily i did that, it was really a phising mail.

So if any of you receive similar message, remember NOT to reply it!!
