Hi All

I have had a request from to be added to my
contacts. I am assuming that this is a scam of some sort but the
windowslive.com is registered to MS. Am I being over cautious?

Greetings,

Yep, sounds like a scam. I'd mark it as such and block.

I've had several of these lately. Can MS prevent them? Can we report abuse
somewhere?
