Hi Michelle K,

I’m Gunasekar and I will be happy to help you with your question, I am a Microsoft consumer like you.

Treat all unsolicited phone calls/ emails with skepticism. Do not provide any personal information. If you receive an unsolicited call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft, please hang up or if it's an email please ignore it. Microsoft does not make these kinds of calls or send scam emails.
