Windows 10: how do I find out if an email I received form microsoft online support is legit?

This is the email who sent me the notice *** Email address is removed for privacy *** and the phone number listed on the notice is 425-382-5992 it is supposedly from Microsoft Technical Support Online Remote Tech Support Division located in Cape Canaveral FL. The notice reads The on 1/8/20145 I had a pop-up appear on my computer form a company named ONEBIT IT . At which time I responded not knowing it was a scam for them to repair my computer. Now Microsoft is telling me to call them to repair my computer of this spyware. I have changed my computer since then and not sure if I should call the phone # or email them back since they are claiming even if I changed my computer I should have Microsoft repair my computer. Please advise what I should do. Is there a direct phone number to Microsoft for me to check out the above phone number and legitimacy of this with Microsoft directly. I can't seem to find a phone number online to call Microsoft Tech support directly and I do not want to call the phone number given to me in the email in the event this is also a scam.

Stop receiving emails to old email address

Hi,



Thank you for replying.



To stop receiving emails on the Gmail account, please open the email that you are receiving, at the bottom of the email you will find the option to unsubscribe from the email notifications. Follow the on-screen instructions to unsubscribe form the
emails.



If you are still receiving emails, I would suggest you to get in touch with Google support and they will help you with the issue.



However, to receive notification emails on your Outlook account, you can follow the same steps provided in my previous reply, click on
Manage communication permissions for your Outlook account and can select which notifications you want to receive.



Let us know how it goes.



Regards,
