Students and Windows 7 - Anyone got the e-mail?

Money_Grabber13579

Has anyone got an e-mail in their student e-mail account from jeremy @ bluehornet.com? It ended up in my spam folder, so don't know if it's legit. Below is the email, with all links removed.

Thank You,

If it's not genuine, how did I get it because I never get spam at this address. And how'd they know I purchased Windows 7? Having Googled it, there seems to be quite a few people who are suspicious of this.

bluehornet is legit for this.

I know bluehornet is a legit organisation, although quite a few people have said that Microsoft don't work with bluehornet.

What is "Microsoft Office for Windows 7" when it's at home? Virtually any version of Office works on Windows 7!

Blue Hornet seems to be an anti-spam organisation - and I would guess that 'someone' is trying to destroy their reputation by sending out spam purporting to come from Blue Hornet.

But how would they have known that I had purchased Windows 7, and through that e-mail account, the address of which has never been given out anywhere except to Mircosodt for this purpose?

I got this as well and clicked the link. It just said something about activating from what I can remember.

Despite agreeing that I don't see how anyone other than MS got my address, this does doesn't look genuine -and doesn't read like any other MS communication I have received! Went straight into the "delete" box.....
