Windows 10: i was duped into joining an outlook group, the person changed my age to a child and took...

WARNING: EXPLOIT

I responded to an e-mail and apparently when i responded I was admitting myself to an outlook group. They set up the group and made themselves essentially my 'parent' using parental controls. They managed to change my age to born 2013, when in fact I'm 54 yrs old. My question then is, how on earth did you not see the danger of allowing this series of events to occur? Nobody should be allowed to remotely change your age and then set you as a child, then set themselves as your parent. My e-mail has been 'ghosted' by them for 1.5 years now without my knowledge, exposing all my financial information, thanks for leaving a gaping hole into my financial life and making it so easy to do. Also, how many other people are being so 'ghosted' and have no idea it is even being done?

Something went wrong message when my child clicks join family link in the email.

Hello,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

• Is the Child account a Microsoft account?
  

The issue might be due to the age verification, hence I suggest you to verify the child’s age by logging in with child’s account on
account.microsoft.com/family and verify the age.

I also suggest you to refer the article
Add members to your family group to get more information on adding members to your family account.
