hi
this HOAX is going round since MSN was created..
don’t beleive anything
★Variations of this email have been circulating since 1999 but it is still a common visitor to in-boxes across the world. The hoaxes also travel via MSN Messenger.
The information in these messages is completely untrue. Like a lot of hoaxes, this one banks on the fact that many people will hit the “forward” button without analyzing the information very deeply. Even if Hotmail was “running out of resources”, it would be highly improbable for them to attempt to remedy the problem by asking customers to forward an email. Why would Hotmail employ such a vague, hit and miss method of checking on the status of account holders? If Hotmail really wanted to find out if users still had an active account they would be more likely to send an email that asked for a reply within a given time frame rather than request that the message be forwarded. Besides, I’m sure that Hotmail has sophisticated and precise methods of checking the activity levels of a given account that do not require the account holder to reply to or forward a specific message.
★Although the example is aimed at Hotmail, variations of the hoax have also targeted Yahoo and AIM instant messaging customers.
★NOTE★
you hoax is an exploit!
they only want to steal your password !
hotmail /MSN / yahoo would NEVER ask you to give your password !!!!
