I have received several "phishing" request for my hot-mail email password via hot-mail. Though they deny it, Microsoft is partly to blame. I get many scams a day sent to me. For a while, I forwarded them to Microsoft and asked that they take proper action and report it to authorities. The most they ever did was close an account if it was a Microsoft email account. Frankly, they should be blocking the scams they can detect from even hitting my junk mail - at least as soon as they determine it is a scam. In fact when I click "delete and block" an email, what I want done is to block that account from reaching me at all - not dropping it in my junk folder.
