Suspicious email from microsoft

I also rec would be email to Microsoft requesting sensitive information, claiming that all non verified accounts would cease. It's a legitimate request? Please make it easier to transmit these requests directly at home without having to go through this process, or worry on my account while I wait for a response. Respectfully.

It is a scam and trying to access your account (no doubt ask your hotmail, live mail, same login and password to "verify" the account, right...?)

I hope that you ignored it. If not, change your account passwords as soon as POSSIBLE.  Use strong passwords and the unique passwords (never use the same password on several sensitive accounts such as enamel and anything financial.)

    Hello

    Which is called Spoofing and its pretty easy for a spammer to make.
    Of course it makes it look like you or the other person who sent the
    Messaging. Someone intercepted a mail and it may not have been
    You causing him. Account of a friend could have been consulted
    or even someone could have sent an email on your part for
    someone else who has been compromised. Your friend can access to the
    headers and block the real senders, although these will be changed
    often.

  • I received an email from microsoft application information name, password, e-mail address and if I don't answer inside two weeks I'll lose my account. Is this real or a scam?

It telling me it has to do with security, and I was among those who are chosen. It's true, I ignored the premiera but today I had another, first said he would cut in 24 hours, now its two weeks.

  • Suspicious call from Microsoft

    Original title: I got a call from Mocrosoft someone has loaded a malicious hacking on my computer software. This communication really comes from Microsoft.

    I received a call from Microsoft that someone charged with software piracy on my computer.
    This call is really Microsoft?

    Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

    Please see:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-GB/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

    Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.

    These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.
