    Looks like a phishing scam to me. The URL that is shown isn't necessarily
    the URL it will take you to. In the original email, right click the URL, and
    look at it's properties. If it isn't the same as the text of the URL, it is
    a phishing email.

    I have recieved this email twice. When I try to do the
    link, it is not found. Is this for real? If so, where do I
    go to fix this? I do not like being threatened by msn,
    especially since I have been a member for a loooonnnggg
    time.

    i.e.change of address).
    2. Submiting invalid information during the initial sign
    up process.
    3. An inability to accurately verify your selected option
    of subscription due to an internal error within our
    processors.
