Evil Anybody encountered this problem on Hotmail:

I've been prompted to complete a periodical anti-junkmail security check in which I have to copy a series of disguised letters. When I do this, nothing happens. Until I do this, it doesnt look like I can use Hotmail again. Any ideas as to how I get round this?

Sounds like a scam to get you to give out your password or some info.

Brockway, if your are getting an email about this, forward the complete email with full headers to hotmail.
It does sound like some sort of a scam to me too.

If you can't find the proper address, support@hotmail.com or abuse@hotmail.com

If you already logged in to hotmail via this e-mail, it would be best to change your password.
