yes I know, the sender will discover his email was posted on porn sites and other bad pages ^^ It's my way of saying thanks to that person.

If that was from Windows Live then wouldn't we all get one as well? I say it's a SPAM.

Don't waste your time. Most spammers bitbucket (delete) anything that doesn't have the info they're looking for. Often, you'll find such accounts are already closed or bouncing messages due to others having the same "novel" thought you did to email a reply. By replying, however, all you're really doing is letting the spammer know, "Hey, you've got a live one here! Keep that email address for future use." Best to just ignore 'em, IMHO.

I got this exact same e-mail. I filled it out, and was actually about to send, but then realized that they wouldn't need my password, because they likely already have it, and even if they didn't, they wouldn't invade my privacy by asking for it.
