Not at all certain, but I think I got similar scam from Microsoft Net. In fact
got 2 messages, one
thanking me for registering for a Microsoft NET passport and the second asking
me to verify my
email address and password. I had not registered for this "passport", and just
ignored these
messages, but after reading of these others, thought it might be good to add to
the warnings.

Too bad they can't spell. The word writting tipped me right off. I've recently
got
the same type of scams for Ebay, Paypal, Citibank, AOL and Bank of America.
They must think I am a sucker or something.
