whyd you enter your password?

Change your password.

no better yet Delete that account if you dont want them to fish all your friends.

Sounds like something that happened to my friend in Aim last year.

Looks like you missed this thread:

You should change your password immediately and/or delete your account. I would also suggest sending a report to MSN...

Well, if I were you, I would still contact MSN to make sure that no unauthorized users are accessing your account. If you explain your situation, they may be willing to help you out.

Doesnt MSN have a recovery of all your mesages youve been sent and messages youve sent?

I've gotten loads of these.

The first time I saw the link, looked on google to see what it was.

Then I click the link in a Sandboxed Environment in case it was a virus and it told me to enter my username and password.
I was like 'what the crap is this' and just closed it.

Two contacts I don't really talk to send me different links every day. (i'm guessing automatically).
