I've received a new version of this email as well - a few times in fact. They'll write me with a short note that says something along the lines of "This Email is to confirm that bobsmith@hotmail.com is now your new primary email address. If this information is incorrect, please click here..."
The intriguing part of this is they try to hijack your account by making you think that your account has already been hijacked.
Just for the record, another dead giveaway in these is the spelling. For whatever reason, the individuals behind these spoofs must not have been English majors in school as I always find one or two misspelled words or grammatically incorrect sentences in the ones I receive.
