Lmao, i'ld never trust an email like that when it looks like a 14 year old school boy, mad at society, has decided to take his revenge. FFS he should pay more attention at school instead of making up a ****e email thing that's been around for years.

Think they just want to add your friends Lmao.

That has some really bad English in it. Also, do they not realise that Microsoft are one of the worlds largest companies? They first, can afford, and do afford extra capacity. They also can tell, with extreme ease, the last time an account was logged into, the last time an e-mail was received, who the e-mail was received from, the last time you changed your password, they can tell everything about your account without you even knowing. Thirdly, why the hell do they need your password to tell if your account is active? Why do they need your user ID? Can't they tell it's active by just getting a response from the account? And if they get a response, they know the user ID.

People really are s*** at scamming these days.

It's been deleted anyway. I knew it was fake as soon as I opened it it was that bad lol.
