    I just received an email from Microsoft Defender that looks legit and says they are going to charge me $350.00 for a years subscription to Defender if I don't call them within 2 days to cancel.

    Microsoft Defender Protection email scam?

    I received an email from Microsoft Defender Protection that supposedly charged us $399.00, We have 72 hours to cancel. I'm assuming this is a scam???

    legit microsoft email

    I just recently activated my windows. I recieved an email from *** Email address is removed for privacy *** with my Microsoft verification code. The case number was 1032149742. Everything went well. I was just wondering, if this email address was legit, was really from Microsoft.

    Windows 10 Confirmation Email? Legit or not?

    I checked my email, which I don't do often. Apparently a while back I received an email from

    "Windows" with the subject "Congratulations on reserving your free upgrade to Windows 10"

    The email that it was sent from was *** Email address is removed for privacy ***, but checking the source it was sent from mta28.email.microsoftemail.com from the ip 66.231.92.214, not sure if they spoofed a microsoft.com email or if its legit.

    Is this a legit email regarding confirmation for reservation of Windows 10? I've never seen the Microsoftemail.com domain before. I didn't click any of the links in the email itself, but all the links linked to a microsoftemail.com link.

    Usually an email from Microsoft will be marked as "trusted sender" this one was not.

    EDIT: Looking it up some more, the IP address is owned by "Exact Target" and the domain by "MarkMonitor Inc." it appears they're legit companies that Microsoft uses?
