Seeking help with an issue, and have received no reply to my posting of it here in the forum. It appears that Facebook has authenticated that the following Facebook page is hosted by Microsoft Corporation. Does anyone know for sure? Just want to be sure it's not a scam page. Thanks! https://www.facebook.com/outlook/

Outlook | Web | Outlook.com | Email

    Dear KathyLandry

    Thanks for your post in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you would like to verify that a Facebook page is hosted by Microsoft.

    We recommend that you generally follow the steps below to check and verify:

    Check the page's verification stamp: Official Microsoft pages will usually have a blue verification stamp, indicating that Facebook has verified the page's authenticity. Check the page to see if it has this stamp.

    Check the URL and name of the page:

    Authentic Microsoft-related pages will usually use clear, Microsoft-related URLs and names. For example, a URL like "/outlook/" should be an official page related to Outlook.

    Check the page content: Pay attention to the content and messages posted on the page. Official pages usually publish professional content related to products and services, and respond to user messages in a formal and authoritative manner.

    In summary:

    This URL is hosted by Facebook, and /outlook/ indicates that this Facebook page is specifically related to Microsoft's Outlook service. Facebook page URLs usually contain a unique identifier that is usually associated with the content, subject, or company name of the page.

    /outlook/ indicates that the page is about Outlook, an email and calendar service provided by Microsoft. Outlook is a Microsoft product, so Facebook created a dedicated page for it to interact with users, provide support, and publish relevant information.

    However, it is correct to be wary of any web page, as it is possible that some unscrupulous people use tools to change the URL header information. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully identify the source of the web page, and if necessary, you can contact Facebook official support to confirm the authenticity of the web page.

    I hope the above steps can provide you with reference Please let me know if there are any additional questions or details I can help with.

    Best Regards
