MSN supposed request for personal data

I just received a supposed email from MSN, saying that
during a normal test review, they found Errs in my system,
and, needed to update all my personal info, including
credit card info, etc. At first glance looks very very
much like an official MSN sight, but the request seemed to
be outside of logical MSN std policies. Has anyone else
seen this...who would I forward HTML of this site, for MSN
review and possible capture if indeed it is Identity Theft
group. Thanks for listening. Justone1

This is a hoax, and yes, it probably is someone looking for your info
to use or sell.
Just delete and ignore.

I haven't received any but just got a popup notice from ATT - same wording
therefore suspect same source. Appears to be a fraud attempt casting a
large net. ATT stated the authorities are involved.
