Hi Tommo,

My name is RY, I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you.

Upon examining the links, that's absolutely a phishing scam message. One link is redirected to other website. Microsoft doesn't send out messages like that.

Please make sure that you do NOT click on any link inside of the message and if you ever did, make sure that you never any information that is asked of you.

To report a phishing or spoofing scam, please follow the steps:
1. In the message list, select the message or messages you want to report
2. Above the reading pane, select Junk > Phishing > Report to report the message sender

You may refer on this article for more details:

Please let me know if you have other questions or concerns.
Thank you!


Regards,
RY
