SCAMMER ALERT: A email has been sent to all Windows Live Hotmail accounts saying that there is a new update for the system and that you need to reply with your email,password, date of birth and your country.

The email which looks legit goes by the name of 'Hotmail Team' but when our reporters looked into the email more, we found Hotmail Team was just the name and that the sender was 'emukiibi@hotmail.com'.

The email says after you have sent the email that you can do some things to manage your account better.

emukiibi@hotmail.com, has been reported to many government agencys and they are investigating. 

Do not reply to any messages from this person, if hotmail needs to make a chage they will send you letters, emails and phone calls, but normally they will never do this, and the hotmail system will update on its own.
