    This may be an old response. However, it is not correct. These are not legitimate emails from Facebook and I get more than 1 repeats every day.

    I don’t believe Microsoft makes a real attempt to stop junk. I get thousands, mostly repeats of emails I’ve tried to block.

    I receive 10 to 20 of these emails a week. china is constantly trying to sign into my account and failing. is there some way to summarily deny all access from countries outside of the U.S from trying to sign into my account. thus eliminating these attempts and constant emails.

    Every time I check these attempts your system tells me that the attempts were unsuccessful so I don't need to do anything. but there must be a way to stop all this. any suggestions?

    I also get the messages 'from Microsoft', saying someone in China, Russia, or some other foreign country is logging into my account.

    HI

    i got the same email, it looks like Legitimate. Before clicking the link i checked in the security review tab in my account and i couldn't see any login attempt that the email mentioned. then i copied the link and Ponting to "****@googlemail.com"** this is something suspicions.

    they spoofed no-reply@microsoft.com Address and sending out to users Login Credentials be Aware of this kind of fraud

    Microsoft must investigate this issue
