Is This A Scam?
11 Answers
I received an email supposedly from 'Microsoft account team' saying 'Unusual signin activity'. It said that 'a user from Spain/Madrid has just logged into your account from a new device'. It then tells you to click on Report The User if it isn't you.
Do you think this is a scam?

I've had a couple of these recently. In one, the sender was from a 'genuine' French newspaper address. But today's one simply was from [email protected] - so could be thought to be genuine. As suggested though, I checked my hotmail account and there was no listing of suspicious activity. If there had, I would have got a text and an email to a backup email address - and there were none.
