Thank you for contacting MSN Hotmail Technical Support. I am Neeraj and I will be assisting you today.

I sincerely apologize for the delay in responding to your message. Every message that Hotmail Support Team receives is very important and normally we respond within 24 hours. Unfortunately, we recently received an extremely high volume of e-mail messages that caused us longer response time than usual. We appreciate your patience as we handle every customer request, which we received long before.

I understand that you received an e-mail asking for your credentials and other personal details for updating your MSN Hotmail account. You were given a URL (https://login.passport.net/uilogin.srf?id=6528) to perform the required action. I thank you for bringing this to our notice.

This could be a hoax e-mail message that prompts the recipient to update online information. The hoax e-mail message appears to be from a legitimate company (such as Microsoft) that conducts business with online consumers. The message prompts the recipient to update personal information by clicking a link. The link connects to a website that looks exactly like a legitimate company's website (such as a Microsoft Web site). However, the website is a fraudulent site that was created to gather credit card numbers, bank account information, Social Security Numbers, passwords and other sensitive information. Because the hoax e-mail message and the fake website frequently resemble the real company's e-mail message and website, online consumers may become disillusioned with the company that is being impersonated.
