hi I just got an email this morning that someone was added to my family safety. I don't have family safety. Then a few mins later I get a charge from Microsoft for $50 on my bank account. Is this a scam?

Need someone from Microsoft to investigate this. Maybe a data breach somewhere.
I just had this same thing happen to me. I got an email that "Lillianna Gelvin" joined my Microsoft Safety Family and then 12 minutes later there were four $50 charges from the Microsoft Store to one of my credit cards.
I had to cancel my CC. I have no idea how this is happening, but Microsoft needs to SHUT IT DOWN!!!
yeah something odd is going on. I don't have my cards linked with Microsoft. I was able to remove them by logging on and removing them in the settings (I signed up back in 2019 which I forgot about) . If you are experiencing it too that means countless others as well.
I also do not have family safety. I don’t know Willow Kirlin and I canceled my bank card I think Microsoft had a big hacker. Because about 40 minutes ago the same happened to my sister as well.
This happened to me as well. 4 days ago Willow Kerlin added themselves to my account but I couldn’t find them to remove them and just last night 4 $50 charges and they removed themselves immediately and my bank detected fraud and I have spent all day dealing with it.
