We have received this email in the morning, stating that it will block the message within 24 hours. Please tell us if this is a scam email or legit?

Pretty safe bet that this is a phishing scam just by looking at the sender of the message which is not from a Microsoft address.

Even if the email address appeared legitimate, you should always verify the actual URL associated with any link in a message. Do that by hovering over the link and looking at the actual link that it's pointing to OR right-click on the link --> select <Copy> --> paste it into any text editor (i.e.NotePad). if the link doesn't point to a valid Microsoft link then it's not a valid message.

The above is equally applicable for any message that you might get regarding any other company (i.e. Paypal, Apple, Netflix, your financial institutions etc etc etc)

Hi,

It could be a scam, but it would be easier to identify it if you would provide a full screenshot with the sender mail address to identify the potential phishing email. Thanks!
Kind regards,
