Yeah I thought so too but when I went to add a contact it said
http://gfx1.hotmail.com/i.p.attention.gif It is not currently possible to make changes to your Contacts. We apologize and ask for your patience while we work to make Contacts available.

Not too worried.. just wonder how much of it was true as I use MSN a lot at work and don't want the company to be billed for it

I always get these things. E-mails saying if you dont send this to so many people then your accoutn will be closed ect. Its a load of C**p bassically. I haved loads of them over the past four or five years and i still use it it hasnt gone any where. Its just them annoying chain emails. They really get on my nerves.

:D

I think we can safely say that this is a hoax so I'm gonna close this now to prevent it going off topic.
