I know this question was asked before but the reply was closed and I noticed something important. The email is being sent from Microsoft domain , that means Microsoft domain is hacked already and sending these spams .

    Thought I had been reporting them to Microsoft when I clicked this was not me.

    Will attempt reporting to the provider. I get this message several times a day just about everyday. Finally realized Microsoft does not pay attention to the notification it was not me.

    Thanks for the info

    These are phishing attempts. You can just delete them. However, if you do want to help stop them, then report them to both Microsoft and to the provider of the email address in the link. They have been known to use a number of email addresses (e.g. hotmail.com and gmail.com). Hover over the "Report The User", but DON'T click on it. Depending on the browser, either the link will appear at the bottom of the window or just under your cursor. It will show "mailto:..." with an email address. Note what the address is and forward the email to the abuse account for that provider (e.g. ******@gmail.com). Believe it or not, they will shutdown the email addresses. It might not stop them, but it will slow them down and prevent them from receiving confirmations from people that do click on the links.

    But my hair cutting place always asks for my email address... Is that BAD ? they said they would never give it out...

    LOL...

    I tell them NOPE ! sooner than later YOUR EMAIL CONTACS database will get HACKED !

    Seem the 17 US intelligence agencies are only good for threating people today and NOT protecting them...

    Are your email addresses being sold/shared all over the world now ? Probably, Only your hair dresser knowns for sure...

    Also, when you report/click a email such as these as spam are these PERPS able to use a silent return receipt to signal they have a LIVE account and to keep bugging you ?
