    Good Day MariBuchholz,

    My name is Carlo, I am also using Windows user and community member like you.

    That is definitely a scam, it a phishing email, Windows Defender is free it is a built in anti-virus in your computer, ignore it , don't provide any personal information of any especially credit card details.

    To know more about Phishing emails visit this link.

    I hope the information above helps.

    Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.

    Sincerely,

    Carlo T.

    Thank you,

    I am in receipt of this email also, tried calling the number provided which is different than shown above. All I got was an answering machine today unable to reach the number. I have been checking all my credit cards and bank account because it states 1/15. I also checked my Microsoft account and can not locate any information

    Again thank you
