Microsoft account unusual sign-in activity email, -----> Is this phishing?

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 forward every one I get to Microsoft asking for verification but have never received a reply! I only get the standard acknowledgement email. Very unhelpful! So much for protecting its community.

Hang on a second here ... so you're saying the email is LEGIT? Even if it has a "REPORT USER" tab that goes to some unrecognizable BFE (bum f#$k Egypt) email address???? No way, that HAS to be phishing. I've get several of these a day and report them all as PHISHING EMAILS. There's NO WAY those are legit. You should NOT be telling people those are legitimate!!!

Hi dBelcourt,

Thank you for posting your concern here at the Microsoft Community Forum.

We see that you received a notification that there was an unusual activity on your account. Yes, that email was from our system, and it is a legitimate Microsoft Account notification.

For your account's safety and security, every Microsoft Account has a feature that can detect if your account is being accessed outside of your usual sign in location. If you do not recognize the sign in attempt, we highly recommend that you change your password immediately. This will protect your account from being hacked.

In addition, we recommend that you consider adding an extra layer of security to your account. Here's how you can protect your Microsoft Account: How to help keep your Microsoft account safe and secure.

If you use a VPN connection, the system will detect that and it will continue to notify you of the unusual activity. If this is the case, you'll need to add your device as trusted to make sure that you won't be locked out, and keep all your security information (phone number and alternate email address) updated.

Let us know if you have additional queries.

I had the same email the other day saying someone in India signed into my account.

I read the above advise, and clicked the It was not me link. Well and good, but the a reply email that popped had a Google address for my response. ******@gmail.com

I'm concerned. Why would Microsoft use Gmail to receive it's response? Yes, I have a Chromebook and alternate using both Win10 and Chrome browsers on my Windows laptop, but it Still seems like Phishing to me. I'm not sending this until I get some clarification, and taking it out of my SPAM folder and putting into my Inbox so it won't disappear in another 7 days.
Thank you to anyone that can give me some peace of mind

I got this this morning in my junk folder and when hovering over email address there is none. I got similar ones on 2/13 from Spain and one on 2/15 from Nigeria. NO VISIBLE SENDER EMAILS WHEN HOVERING OVER SENDER'S EMAIL . What is the email address from Microsoft when these unusual activity emails are real and valid? Nothing looks out of the norm when checking my Microsoft activity.
