Is e mail legit?

Question

I received an email in my hotmail/outlook junk mailbox from "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***".

Title "Welcome to your new Word app!"

		Your go-to app for mobile productivity; bringing the best of Word.Explore ways to get started with your new app below.	<br>	---	<br>			<br>	---

			<br>	---		<br>	---

As far as I know, I don't have a 'new Word app' and I would be surprised if a genuine email from Microsoft ended up in the junk mailbox of a hotmail/outlook account.

At the bottom it says "You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to Microsoft Transactional" - and as far as I know, I'm not subscribed to anything with that name.

So what's the story here? Fake or real?

Answer 1

I am sorry it wasnt in junk mail. It was in main area. Help?

Answer 2

Regardless, like i stated earlier, be aware of phishing emails. Please disregard the email as it has no impact whatever on your Microsoft account.

Use link I sent previously to find out more information about phishing.
