    Possible scam e-mail claiming to be from Microsoft


    I have received an e-mail claiming to be from Microsoft, which I think is a scam. How do I report it?It is headed - 'Action required: Make a purchase by June 9, 2025 to continue using your tenant' and gives a supposed 'Tenant ID', but this means nothing to me.The address from which it was sent appears to be a Microsoft address, which is why I think that it should be reported.

    NewEgg Scam E-Mails

    A couple of people here at work received e-mails "from" NewEgg saying that their order had been successfully charged to their Visa card.

    These are not originating from NewEgg. It's some kind of scam, but the e-mails look exactly like a NewEgg order confirmation.

    Just a heads-up, as a lot of us use the 'Egg to get our parts.

    Possible scam e-mail claiming to be from Microsoft

    Microsoft e-mail

    Received an e-mail purportedly from Microsoft claiming I need to Update my Dev version of Insider. Not having ever been on that version aroused my suspicions. Is this a genuine e-mail from Microsoft?
