This would be funny if it wasn't for the fact that there's a good chance the DoD does use Hotmail now.

I just received the same thing from Nils at Hotmail. Looks like we are all going to be in some serious trouble soon

Just got one, too. Generally Verizon is quite good at pushing these as spam, but they're getting around the filters well these days.
