It has been a long time since I have received one of these lame phishing attempts.. and I had thought the *people* behind them had finally figured out that the days when people might fall for this were over. This form is so.. 90’s!

Send me your user name and password.

Right.

Sure.

Let me get right on that.

Too funny! “Dear Account Owner”… like, Hotmail doesn’t know my user name.
