A friend uses Hotmail and opened an email from one of her mates t'other day.

She foolishly clicked on the hyperlink which resulted in a plausible 'Outlook' login screen, along with 'Your session has timed out, Please login again to continue'.

Fortunately she didn't go any further. I checked it out and discovered it was more than a bit iffy.

A simple way to get you to hand over your email address and password to the baddies.
