Microsoft Messenger Scam/Hoax/Virus - www.messengerstatus.biz

If you get an instant message with the following message, don't click on it. If you MUST click on it, don't enter your username and password.

"Did someone delete you from their MSN? Check http://www.messengerstatus.biz it's really good and it works!!!"

The site asks for your Microsoft Messenger username and password, then I believe that it promptly logs onto your messenger account and sends the same message to all of your contacts.

If you HAVE registered. Change the password of your Messenger E-mail account ASAP, and be more careful!

I've gotten a lot of these IM's today from people on my contact list, and figured I'd post a warning...

the message varies a little, the I got was:

http://www.messengerstatus.net tells you everything about your contacts, check this out and pass it to your other contacts
