What I think about that is, it might be a total fake bogus from some nerd who is just trying to make a living for him by compromising with everyone's hotmail account. Hotmail, or any other services wont send any kind of messages that you have written in your post. And therefore I would only recommend you to not follow those fake email alerts, as they are trying to steal away your account and personal details. You should put such kind of email alerts directly into spam so that next time when you receive such kind of email it will automatically come in the spam side of the email account.
