Default "Updating my address book"

Is anyone else getting emails like this? Ive gotten numerous emails which are all the same in what they say (they tell me to go to a site called bebo.com), and they claim to be from people who are in my hotmail address book.

Is anyone else getting them?

yes its a new way of weeding out the old & void contacts.
Meh i have over 40 inwhich some of them i havent spoken to in awhile..
Rather than send out x amount of emails individually, I sent them all off in one go.
If i dont hear from some of them in say 2 weeks, ill delete them easy.
I need the room!!!

Oh well, that what happens using Hotmail:(

I've stayed away from it for almost 5 years, because of that sort of thing. Computers users are repeatedly bombarded with information these days about internet secusity, and install all manner of application to secure their PC, but will quite happily sign up for a hotmail account :nutsycuck

Bin the request. These sites purport to update the user's mail list but are more interested in farming active e-mails. :countdown
