If so, what should I look for and do?

    I have received this same one. Outlook sends it to my junk file. I go and look at my recent activity and it doesn't show this login.

    I got a similar email, asking me to "Report the user" who logged into my account.

    The URL in the email directs me to "******@recognized-sec.com"

    Is that a legitimate Microsoft email account?

    Your response, Mary Han, suggests that either you are poor at your job or you are a scammer yourself leading the uninformed.

    I get these emails all the time. Few, if any, are legitimately from Microsoft.

    If one is concerned, then sign into your Microsoft account directly.

    Be Safe and NEVER use a link from any email.

    I signed in to my account and looked at recent activity. There were a bunch of unsuccessful sign in attempts, none from the location identified in the email, and the only successful ones were from my account. It's remarkable how real these emails look, but I know mine are clearly spam.
