Hello pervert, I've sent this message from your Microsoft account. I want to inform you about a very bad situation for you. However, you can benefit from it, if you will act wisеly.Have you heard of Pegasus? This is a spyware program that installs on computers and smartphones and allows hackers to monitor the activity of device owners. It provides access to your webcam, messengers, emails, call records, etc. It works well on Android, iOS, macOS and Windows. I guess, you already figured out where I’m getting at.******

The email I have been sent the scam off is exactly the same as mine. No spaces? Starting to worry
The sending email is the exact same as my email, I even replied to the email as a test and it came straight into my inbox?
I have checked to see the sign in section and there is many but all unsuccessful.
Have now added Microsoft Authenticator to my account.
Any other steps I can do?
I got the same email today. Was a little worried until I saw ‘highly controversial porn sites’ as I know I haven’t been and don’t go to those.
I quickly looked it up and found this thread. One thing I noticed was while they mimic your address so it appears they logged into your account, there was no corresponding email in the sent or deleted folder. I highly doubt if they were trying to convince me they hacked my account they would permanently delete the proof that they are real.
The point is, it's not your account. it's just a spam email that mimics your email automatically. They're sending those automatically to thousands of email addresses, hoping that someone will fall for the blackmail.
Just delete the email they sent you and move on.
hi, what i did is report the email as a phishing email. does it affect anything if i do that? plus i received the email in my inbox instead in my junk email.
I received the same email today in my junk folder.
I assumed it was a scam and deleted it without opening.
