I have two longstanding hotmail accounts (one is .com and the other .co.uk) and I have recently received two emails (one to each address) purported to be from "Windows Live Inc." which advises that they were unable to verify my account details which may be due to me recently changing personal information or submitted incorrect information during the setup process.
The email requests that I click on a link to verify the account, however, I have no intention to do so as I am somewhat suspicious of it. The email address from which is originated doesnt even look right?!
A copy of the email is provided below.
