    you could end up going to that site, which could end up, with Hackers, getting all your passwords, and Bank details..Stay well away..

    Yeah thats what Im thinking. Does anyone know if the hotmail people actually do anything when you mark these type of mail as "phishing scam"?

    If you EVER receive an email from anything like this - go directly to their site (NOT in any link provided in the email) or ring the company yourself. It is against almost every company's policy to request details or logins by email. NEVER EVER trust an email!
