New Microsoft scam?

[patrick chezzie]

I received this email today, and after trying to access my account, it wouldn't accept my password, and promised to send me a code to recover my account. Is this legit?

Patrick,

 

I checked with the folks at MSFT, and it appears to be legit. Clicking on that link (account.live.com) brings you to your Microsoft Account page where you can change your password. It’s also VeriSign certified as MSFT. They say it’s OK.
