Is this email legitimate: Verify Microsoft Account to Avoid Deactivation December 11, 2025//Ref ID GWxyAMwNSlPog
This email sender appears to come from myself. The link is not to a Microsoft domain. I have deleted it and suggest that the Phishing should be publicized better by Microsoft.
Hello
This is a phishing email that's going around right now. If this email is sending you to a third party link, 100% scam, please don't fall for it.
To determine if the email titled "Verify Microsoft Account to Avoid Deactivation December 11, 2025//Ref ID GWxyAMwNSlPog" is legitimate, you should check the sender's email address. Legitimate emails from Microsoft support will come from domains such as microsoft.com, microsoftsupport.com, or mail.support.microsoft.com. If the email is from a different domain, it is likely a phishing attempt.
Additionally, be cautious of any links or attachments in the email. Hover over links to see the actual URL before clicking, and do not provide personal information unless you are sure the email is genuine. If you suspect the email is a phishing scam, do not reply or click on any links, and consider reporting it to Microsoft.
