Question hotmail and MSN messenger

I have been mailing someone on Hotmail for a while now.
I have now recieved a request from a very similar name with a very similar hotmail addy (ie .co.uk instead of .com) to join my MSN list.
Is this someone cloning his address and trying to gain access to my system or am I too cyinical ?

it's a virus of some sort. I saw a thread on here a week or so ago about it.
