Using classic Outlook for Windows in business environments
Hello Low H! I'm Gunasekar and I'll be happy to help you with your question.
I understand that you have received a phishing (SCAM) email to your account from your own email address.
We do not have access to your Accounts. However, this email appears to be a scam that hackers use to steal information or money from the user. A spammer can use any address they want in the From field. It doesn't mean your account has been compromised.
Treat all unsolicited phone calls or emails with skepticism. Please do not provide any personal information or click on any links in the email. Additionally, it is recommended to check your account's recent activity status to confirm if someone is trying to access your account.
a. Go to https://account.live.com/Activity and sign in with your Microsoft account. b. Select recent activity. c. If you see account activity that you're sure wasn't yours, let us know and we'll help you protect your account. If it's in the Unusual Activity section, you can expand the activity and select It wasn't me. If it's in the Recent Activity section, you can expand the activity and select Protect your account.
If there has been no recent activity on your Microsoft account, the messages are most likely spam and you can feel safe. You can move these emails to the spam folder. Additionally, similar concerns have recently been reported to Microsoft in greater numbers.
