Just received this super clever phishing email, trying to get you to click on its links. If you received the same, DO NOT CLICK on its links. Delete it. It starts like this:

Unusual sign-in activity
Your account, our priority
Adding security information helps protect your account
Dear Hotmail user
We detected something unusual about a recent sign-in to you're Microsoft account, Though we prevented it for your safety, we required an immediate upgrade to your Microsoft account, a security challenge.

If you are not the one trying to access you're Microsoft Account from the Sign-in details as shown below:
Country/region: Turkey
IP address: 109.228.212.248
Date: 9/30/2014 8:10 PM (GMT)


I logged into hotmail directly instead of using Outlook and received no notice from Microsoft. A google search quickly showed that to be a scheme to get you to go to their web site and infect your system. The give away for me was the links being tinyrul as opposed to Microsoft.

Be safe :).
