Did anyone also get this email from MSN account? I suspect it is a fraud!!

raining04(啊撒啦嘛哩唝)
Hi, guys,


Today I got this email from "Msn Processing <payments@msn-network.com>" saying that I have to submit my information to them again since MSN has lost my info due to a technical problem. After I clicked the Secure Application link in the email, it starts a new window and asks me to input user name, password and to my surprise, my credit card information. I stopped immediately and I suspect it is a smart fraud that happens right at the time that MSN messenger does not work properly. The new pop-up's URL is http://www.explore-msn.com/ (It even asks you to install Cyrillic language support)

Did anyone get the same email in your MSN email box? (my friends who use hotmail haven't got any). As I am not 100% sure whether it is an internet fraud, I do not believe there is a reason for MSN to ask for the billing information from a free account holder.

I am looking forward to your opinions and I hope those who have got the same email to be cautious.

    • 网页的地址实际上是http://www.explore-msn.com/indexxx.php?， 而且submit后的action是billinfo.php. 很明显不是MSN发的，MSN不会用php -isup(isup); 2005-2-8 (#2115560@0)
