Microsoft Email Scam — How to Spot It

Check the sender's email address carefully; legitimate Microsoft emails will come from an official domain like @microsoft.com.

Do not click on any links or download attachments in the email; these could lead to phishing websites or malware.

If the email claims your account is at risk, log in directly to your Microsoft account through the official website to check for any alerts, rather than following any links in the email.

Be cautious of any email that creates a sense of urgent action, such as a deadline for updating your password, as this is a common tactic used by scammers.

Report the email to Microsoft and your email provider, and delete it from your inbox to avoid accidentally engaging with it later.
