        I think it's true. I tried to log into my 15 year old hotmail
account, but it would not let me see my mail unless I gave them my
cell or land phone number "so they could get a voice sample". I
suppose they don't have one, because I've never used Skype and I cut
the microphone wires.
        While I was swearing at them an ad popped up telling me I
could "keep an eye on my kids" by turning on their webcam and mikes
and spying on them through Microsoft. Apparently, this "feature" is
free. They also offered to take care of my accounts and "alert me" if
I was over-spending. Also "free".
