msn hacker email

ive just been sent this email by another jovian and its been forwarded hundreds of times. has anyone else had it?
if it was real and there were security problems or whatever, wouldnt msn warn you? and isnt the "send to 10 ppl within 45 mins" thing kinda suspicious to you? ive been sent so many junk emails saying that sort of thing that im really suspicious of it now.
anyway this is what it said...

Your Screen Name has Been Added to the ß®øöô¥ £.¼ Hackers List! Here is how we work. Because we master MSN, everytime this letter is sent out a copy is also instantly send to us. We then scan out all the names, and place them on our hackers list. Once you send out this letter 10 times your name again is instantly removed from our list. If this letter is not sent out exactly 45 minutes after you have opened it your name will not be able to be removed from our hacking list. Here is what happened when your name is stuck on the ß®øöô¥ £.¼ hackers list.
-Your MSN Instant messenger password is pulled out of MSN'S files. Stupidly MSN stores your password on a password access website. We have cracked the password needed and have access to every account except for MSN guides (cat guides). We gain your credit card number, social security number, and home address.
-Your credit card information and home address is stored at the MSN site and with that we can gain your social security number. Everytime you sign on HOTMAIL, OR MSN INSTANT MESSENGER your account will be messed around with and much, much more with the power of ß®øöô¥ £.¼ hackers.
-Don't believe this? We don't care at all because not following the directions given will harm you in over 10 ways. All you have to do is send this out to 10 people and you will never have to worry about this again. If you receive this letter again after sending it out you don't need to send it out again, because your name is not able to be put back on.
-Why are we doing this? It is to get back at MSN, and we are taking action.

Credit card #?? That makes no sense. Sounds like a huge crock of crap. Some people have nothing better to do.

i never had to fill out any credit card details, or social security number and i sure as hell didnt put my address

Glad I make up my address on those things! Even though I haven't gotten a funny message like that. Oh, and I never put my last name.

ive received that mess age twice now........one a couple years ago and one last year.......nothing has ever happened to me
