Windows live password

I keep getting an e-mail supposedly from MS Customer Service- Reset Your Windows Live Password, everything seen’s ok no problem’s signing in. Has anyone else received this e-mail, l’m thinking dodgy could be a scam by someone to get your password, I just delete them.

Do NOT click the link and just delete the email. This could be a phishing email. Or, someone is clicking forgot password for your email.

So long as you are confident in the security of your password, just ignore it. If not, do a password change, but from within your Live account ONLY.

Cheers lads took your advice and changed password to be on the safe side, thought it smelt a bit fishy.

But if someone was clicking forgot password why would they send it to the email address? If you have forgot your password then you wouldn't get to your emails anyway

I think it is a phishing email though
