Microsoft Teams - Scammer added me to a Team named Fremont Unified School District and I don't know that entity. I can't remove them from my Teams account.

Hello

Can you see if you can do this:

Please sign into https://portal.azure.com

Then click on Manage Entra ID

Then click on Manage tenants.

Do you see the organization listed? If so, check th box and click on "Leave".

If you cannot, please tell me what it says.

    To stop seeing or interacting with that unwanted organization/team in Microsoft Teams, use the built‑in options to leave or block it, depending on what exactly is happening.

    1. If this is a Teams organization in Microsoft Teams Free If the “Fremont Unified School District” entry appears as an organization under the account in Teams Free, leave that organization:
    2. In Microsoft Teams Free, go to Settings.
    3. Select Accounts and orgs.
    4. Under Accounts and orgs, select Leave next to the Teams organization you want to leave. This opens Teams on the web.
    5. Under Organizations, find that organization and select Leave.
    6. Confirm by selecting Leave again.

    It can take a few hours to update. After that, sign out of Teams and sign back in. If it still appears, sign out and in again after a couple of hours.

    1. If this is an external chat or invite from someone impersonating that school district If someone outside the organization is trying to chat or invite under that name, treat it as potential spam or phishing:
    2. When the notification appears, double‑check the sender’s identity (name and email address).
    3. Use Preview to inspect the message for anything suspicious.
    4. If it is not trusted, choose Block instead of Accept to stop receiving Teams communications from that sender.
    5. If added to a specific Team inside an org and cannot remove it If the account is a member of a Team inside that organization and there is no option to leave or remove it, only a team owner or an admin in that organization can remove the account. In that case, do not accept any chats or meetings from that Team and block suspicious senders as above.

    For persistent issues with a Teams Free org that will not disappear after leaving and waiting a few hours, contact support or ask in the Microsoft Teams Community as described in the referenced article.
