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 .

    Thanks Very Much Brian. This is the second time I receive such a stupid message. My Hotmail account is protected with 2 - step verification, so I am not worried about unwanted activity to my Emails. However my Email address has been hacked as I found using the you have been pwned domain. Note the 2 occurences were identical except for the date and time of the elleged breach ... it is CLEARLY a fishing scam.

    Regards Basil

    I just had one of these emails this morning. It's quite convincing until you hit the report link. Once the prefilled email address you are sending it to appears you then see its some random address rather than an official address. Nearly got me.... but not quite.

    Thank you, I got some peace of mind flowing your advice except I saw loads of unsuccessful sign ins from all over the world. My email is pretty old but I change my passwords relatively frequently and I use the authenticator app. Should I be concerned and or switch emails?
