The Easiest Scam in the World
It is extremely easy for people to send email to lots of email addresses. Many people assume that the email they receive is legitimate, but in many cases it is not. Therefore, Microsoft displays the following warning to all its Microsoft Network customers:-
"Important reminder: MSN does not ask you to send us your credit card information through e-mail.
As we have shared with you before, sometimes members receive unsolicited e-mail from people claiming to represent MSN; they may request credit card information or other personally identifiable information such as social security numbers, passwords, or driver's license numbers. We strongly caution against giving out such information to anyone through e-mail."
