On June 22 I received an email from "Microsoft Outlook.com", specifically: "Admin Desk • ******@live.ca" stating: "We are closing all old versions of our Mailbox as from June 23rd, Please follow the attached below to update .
Before upgrading your account, please ensure that your password is correct.
Failure to verify your account with the Microsoft Update Attached File."

Please tell me if this is legitimate?! Thank you.

    What was the type of attachment was included on the email? Was it just a PDF file? Did it download the attachment to your device?

    I don't own a PC. It is in my Android phone. How do I do a virus scan on it?

    To be safe, I would actually suggest changing your password. Since you clicked on the attachment, please run a virus scan on your PC to check for any malwares. Other than that you should be good.
