Anyone get ones saying that someone from Russia tried to log in to your account? I'm getting all kinds of fake emails. I NEVER reply to any of them. If you get these, go check your Google account (DON'T go through the suspicious email link) and check the activity/security on your account. If it's a scam, it won't appear there.

I have been requested by Microsoft Account Team if I have had contact from Waĺlecesj-hotmail.com. I have had no contact from or requested any from this sender other than the mail from Microsoft. I have no idea why they would contact me. Can the accounts team enlighten me

I clicked it wasn't me but I can't change my password! I had old security info and I changed it but I have to wait 30 days for my security info change to be approved so I can't change my password until then!

Why not just forward to support-outlook so they can block all emails from that sender?

I have received an email from what looked like Microsoft with the name cpeyton-gmail.com has been added to my account. I checked and no email has been added. I clicked on the No It Wasn’t Me and it came up with another email address - eemailaddress1987-gmail.com. Didn’t send a reply and cancelled it. I have sent the email to Microsoft as phishing.

I had this email too but I didn’t click on the link to say no, because I had a feeling that was a scam and they just wanted me to click no, it wasn’t me. I first went to my account and check if that email was in in fact in my account; and it wasn’t. So I added more security and two step verification. And got the Authenticator for more security. I also got another email stating that this email shafi221995-hotmail.com was added to my microsoft account. So watch out for that one too. I was also getting a lot of phone calls from china, Italy, and at lot of other countries.I also saw a lot of attempted to conect or sync to my Microsoft account from all of those countries including Vetnam. Thank got they fail. I hate these freaking scammers. Get a job and get a life!!!!!

I was worried this was a scam when I got it. But when I checked the email address it showed as no-reply-microsoft.com.
I assumed it was legit and answered with no it wasn’t me. I proceeded to change all passwords.
Is this a fake email too?

by an anonymous user from: City of London, London, England, United Kingdom

I’ve had this email today. Stupidly I replied to the ‘Microsoft’ email saying I hadn’t added that email address to my account.

I also then emailed cpeyton-gmail.com asking who the 🤬they were BEFORE realising it was a scam.

Have I left my account exposed or a risk now?

Did Microsoft send me email asking if it was me that added cpeyton? I replied no. That's all.. Do they have access?

No. I think the scammers are attempting to trick people into sending them account credentials, personal and financial information.

I am sick of these fake microsoft emails. I can tell they arent real because for example if your email starts with c it will say someone tried to log into c.....-hotmail/outlook etc where as the fake emails seem to show your full email addr. Set up 2 step authentification and keep at least one email from that then when you get one if the email doesnt match the legit one you know its fake. I went on and saw no extra emails had been added so this cpeyton one wasnt there, but I checked on sign in activity and there was some from netherlands and usa. I dont live in either of those places. I wish we could report to microsoft and they could find a way to block anyone in those countries trying to log in.

I've also received email supposedly from Microsoft stating an email was added to my acct (cpeyton - gmail.com) and if it wasn't me to go to their site to report but there's nothing valid there. I've deleted the email and changed password. Now I'm getting a ton of spam and junk mail since. What do I do?

Delete


by an anonymous user from: Houston, Texas, United States

Same here, I've been receiving email alerts from Microsoft Team that cpeyton-gmail.com had added this email into my Microsoft accounts. I'm not worried because Microsoft has great security software system where you can add extra security to your email account. There are features that you can track where the malicious users area like the state, country, and city, and it shows what type of device they use.

It appears that cpeyton-gmail.com has invaded my email and acquired financial information. I have received messages from Microsoft indicating that cpeyton-gmail.com has been attached to my MS security information but I cannot how I can remove this fraudulent address. I don't not remember sending them my personal information.

If I clicked on a link in this email, will they have access to my personal information on my phone? And is it sufficient enough to have changed the passwords on my Microsoft and Apple ID accounts?

No, only if you submit or sent your information to them.
