Windows 10: *** Email address is removed for privacy *** seems like a phishing email

The email states that my payment is not going through on Paypal and I know that the account is working.What’s up with this? I tried reaching out to microsoft but to no avail.

:)

 

*** Email address is removed for privacy ***

As you can see the forum software in Microsoft Community automatically removes email addresses for privacy reasons from posts etc.

So without seeing the content of that email, it is not possible to say anything about it....

In general: Do hover (do NOT click) over any links in that "suspicious" email. If it leads to non Microsoft sites, it is definitely a phishing email. In that case please just delete that email.

Please do read:

• Recognize phishing attempts
• Scams, spam, and hacks help
  
• Deal with abuse, phishing, or spam in Outlook.com
• Fake Microsoft Scams: Identify & avoid scams that fraudulently use the Microsoft name

 

*** Email address is removed for privacy ***

Why has *** Email address is removed for privacy *** appeared at the top of my email address list?

This has taken over from my other email address and I may have sent emails to engage windows instead of my personal email address, because engage windows has suddenly appeared at the top of my address list.

Why has this list changed anyway?

 

Is "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***" - the legal Microsoft email or not?

Hello!

I recived an email from "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***" with title "Welcome to Designer" like I've start using this one but I've never visited Microsoft Designer.

Also, as I checked, to start using Microsoft Designer I should recive and put an unique code from recived email - but I didn't receive an email for that.

Am I right that this email - like a phishing and I need to block this sender?
