  3. Because, you know, the people who work at Microsoft know nothing about grammar... Wrong! It's so easy to spot this crap.

  4. the thing that amazes me is... obviously if they are sending you the info... it is working and they don't need or require that information ever (except to verify age) - and if you look at the return email address, it isn't from Microsoft, etc... it is from a personal address... I am sure people do fall for it too, which is really sad...
