The Washington Mutual site immediately warns us of an ongoing scam. The javascript button links to revaltrading.com, which seems to be a legitimate business operation.

F%#$ Hotmail. While Yahoo! increased its free space to respond to Gmail's challenge, hotmail is still dragging its ass after promising more space. Hotmail lusers, beware!
