    Clicking on the link even brings you to a page in screen shot that looks legit.
    only link goes to http://www.free3dtutorials.com/wp-content/freshest-outlook.com-account-update/xxx.html

    not actual link I changed it but you get the idea.

    But they should update their picture :rolleyes:, the regular login looks different.
