Sounds like spam to me. If your provider really contacted you they would address you by name.

If I had a euro for everytime 'microsoft' had contacted me to confirm my account details 'or else', I'd be a rich old age pensioner.

Thanks Robert. That was an interesting read. I got infected a while ago when I got caught by one of my Messenger contact ID’s when they got pished of whatever I have been more cautious since. The problem with spam filters is that thay stop the occasional genuine e-mail. This seems to be in spite of me putting them on my contacts list. I suppose it is just another mystery that I will have to live with. Not a great problem for me.
