Hi, there, I receive the same email with the same subject of "reset your
windows live password" every day in my inbox,
Is it really an email from "microsoft windows ", if not and it contains
dangerous links, how can I report to microsoft? Below is the content of
the email. by the way, I have clicked the first link (looks like HTTPS),
and it told me to input my hotmail account, and nothing happened.
