Hello!


I have received this strange Microsoft email,
kind of spam or spoof, but I was trying to send
it directly to Microsoft (tried sp...@microsoft.com,
webm...@microsoft.com, secu...@microsoft.com, etc)
but couldn't reach the famous company.

Maybe someone has an email address where I
could have sent this fake?


Greetings,
H.Samso (thebitsclub.tripod.com)
