Just signed into messenger a moment ago. Was greeted by two messages supposedly from Microsoft.

Huh? :confused: Followed the link, checked to see if there was anything suspicious but seems legit enough. I don't fall under any of the scenarios described as far as I'm aware. I'm going to ignore the message but I'd thought I'd post it here to see if anyone had seen anything similar. Cheers

I've had the same email for more than ten years now. I imagine someone somewhere has fluffed up.
