Some people have been getting an email in the hotmail email saying they are running out of space but if you reply with your personal info they will keep your email open. Sadly I fell it for last week and now I am unable to open my email or my msn messenger. So if you get that email, DO NOT REPLY TO IT OR GIVE OUT THE PASSWORDS ETC.
Some good info on this site about scams.

I just had a new phishing scam email. This time it says it's from Bell. Well I knew this time it was a hoax since Bell doesn't have my hotmail addy. Anyhow DO NOT CLICK THE LINK.
