The link in the email message will take you to a fake Microsoft Outlook website looking exactly like the legitimate Outlook web page. Once the recipients enter their user names and passwords on the fake website, it will be sent to the cyber-criminals behind it, who will use the information to hijack the accounts. Remember never to click on a link within an email message to sign into your Outlook account. Always go directly to www.outlook.com, www.hotmail.com or www.live.com and sign into your account instead.

Please to here to change your password if you were tricked into clicking on the link in the fake email message.
