Another Scam

The latest scam making the rounds on the internet, is one in which you get an email that claims to be from Microsoft, telling you that there has been unusual sign-in activity on your account in Russia. An IP address, date, time, computer platform and browser are all listed, to make it look very official. There are also links to click on to report the user or receive security notices. But both of those links connect to a Gmail address, not Microsoft. Authorities say a huge red flag is that the sender’s email address is mostly gibberish. They say Microsoft will send you emails about unusual account activity, but the address they come from ends with microsoft.com.
