I received the same thing about "Account Termínation Notíce" <nicdoyle76@hotmail.com> . Dear Emaíl Clíent,
Due to an increased traffic on our ínternet data base, we are deleting all unused accounts to free up space and enhance our service quality. If you still want to maintain your account with us, we request you to verify your account NOW.
This will help us straighten your account security and keep you email active.
Failure to do so, an auto account termination process will be activated within 72-hours, your account and all its contents will be terminated.
This is to improve our service quality.
We regret any inconveniences this might cause youThese people are crazy or what? Expect us to send confidential info like this over the internet?
