Hotmail gaat adressen verwijderen

Grote kans dat je deze spam in je mailbox hebt zitten, er zijn namelijk maar liefst vier verschillende varianten op deze Hotmail hoax.
Alle verschillende mails waarschuwen voor het mogelijk verwijderen van mailadressen bij hotmail. Adressen die te lang ongebruikt zijn zouden per ommegaande worden verwijderd. Vette bullshit natuurlijk, maar dat zag je natuurlijk al lang aankomen.

READ THE PARAGRAPH IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR HOTMAIL ACCOUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Hotmail User,

Because of the sudden rush of people signing up to Hotmail, it has come to our attention that we are vastly running out of resources. So, within a month’s time, anyone who does not receive this email with the exact subject heading, will be deleted off our server. Please forward this email so that we know you are still using this account.

WARNING WARNING

We want to find out which users are actually using their Hotmail accounts. So if you are using your account, please pass this e-mail to every Hotmail user that you can and if you do not pass this letter to anyone we will delete your account.

Subject: Fwd: Warning – Hotmail users

WARNING WARNING Hotmail is overloading and we need to get rid of some people and we want to find out which users are actually using their Hotmail accounts. So if you are using your account, please pass this e-mail to every Hotmail user that you can and if you do not pass this letter to anyone we will delete your account.

From Mr. Jon Henerd

Hotmail Admin. Dept.

Hello to everyone from the Hotmail Headquarters! This is just a little test to see who is actively using their email account and in effect deleting all inactive users accounts. This process will make the whole site faster and easier to use for the active users. Now on to what to do with this email. All you have to do is forward this on to at least 10 registered Hotmail users. If you don’t forward this on within 48 hours of reading it, your account will be deactivated momentarily until you contact Hotmail Headquarters.

MSN as you might know is having some technical difficulties due to the amount of accounts registered. Forward this message by copy and pasting it to all the people on your contact list so that our server recognizes your account as active. All accounts who do not will be removed within 24 hours so that the network is not overloaded with inactive accounts [blog.nl]
