I keep getting these fake "Windows Team" warnings about my account closing in my hotmail account.?
-
I will get several e-mails from them in the same day. They ask for password and other personal info (in an amateur-ish format, I might add; misspelled words, etc.). I just mark them as phishing scam and they're deleted. I really want to respond to them since it's become harassment. If I reply will it open a can of worms?

Answer:
From what I understand, as long as you don't click on any of the links you won't get worms or anything, but if you do choose to respond to them they'll only send you more emails. I got a similar email last week and I just deleted it. I haven't heard about anyone getting multiple emails. Are they from the same email address? If so, I would try reporting that username.

You keep getting them because you keep opening them. Every time you open these messages you send a return receipt back to the sender that you opened it so they think you are gullible and will only send more. If you just mark it as Phishing Scam without opening, they should stop
