    phishing for email passwords on mail in windows 10


    Hi everyone,


    I keep getting a window opening in the Mail app in Windows 10 that must surely be some sort of phishing scam to get my email password. I've tried running the virus scan etc. but none of them get rid of it. Shutting down the computer and turning if off completely gets rid of it for half an hour or so but it soon comes back. I've uploaded a picture of what it looks like. My next step will be to "reset" mail but does anyone have any other suggestions before I try that. Anyone had anything similar?

    Regards,

    Stephen

    phishing email

    While there are legitimate emails from the Microsoft account team,
    email phishing scams using the Microsoft name     are very common so you have to be very careful. A
    legitimate email address domain from Microsoft is @accountprotection.microsoft.com.


    This is an example of an older scam:
    Ask Leo: Is Windows Live Hotmail about to close my account?

    On the new Windows 10 Mail that feature doesn't appear to be there, so not allowing me to send emails direct to Phishing Scam.
