Hello Folks,

I was trying out the new Outlook.com, curious to see the new Microsoft email client.

I tried to send a new email and outlook.com asked me to verify my account using the usual SPAM captcha system. I tried the classic one, where you have to figure out the letters, but it seemed to have some problems. I then switched to the audio captcha and I got a message which seems like a satanic message, the one you get when you play vinyls backwards.

This outlook.com SPAM captcha is scary!

Check out the recording of this audio:
