At the time of this topic, the link you provided from Microsoft did not exist and they did not provide clear answers in regards to questions about such emails so much of the available information was conflicting.įortunately, they now have articles with more useful information and explanations. While there are legitimate emails from the Microsoft account team, email phishing scams using the Microsoft name are very common so you have to be very careful. Who knows? Maybe the original e-mail I got was a scam (although it looked completely legit when I checked the source), but the resulting confirmation from MS was not a fake.Where did you get that email, in your Outlook/Hotmail account, or your Gmail account?Įdited by irfanshah, 04 June 2016 - 11:37 PM. I deleted it, but I'm pretty sure the email was sent to that account. Where did you get that email, in your Outlook/Hotmail account, or your Gmail account? Who knows? Maybe the original e-mail I got was a scam (although it looked completely legit when I checked the source), but the resulting confirmation from MS was not a fake.
Now, had there been glaring grammatical mistakes as we tend to see so often, then that is entirely more likely to be the case. You guys here need to give some credence to that fact. Seems to me, you can't do a blanket "they're all scams" based off of something like that. After changing my password, I got the confirmation e-mail with "account team" in lower case letters, and "thanks" instead of "thank you". Like crzyn8, I checked through the e-mail's message source and everything looked legit.Īs I said, I logged directly into MS Live's site typing the URL, not clicking on any link in the e-mail. Aside from those of us in this thread who have said we received these warning e-mails recently, everyone else is so quick to claim that they are all fake.
