Recieved an email from "******@email2.office.com"

Question

I was in the waitlist of Microsoft designer but yesterday i recieved an email which said "The wait is over! You’re in!" it looks like a real email from Microsoft designer but is it legit ? it's from "******@email2.office.com" it looks suspecious,i even logged in on the link given in the email but it redirects to real Microsoft designer site i am confused if it's real or not?

Answer 1

I am still confuse Because the email i received has domain @email2.office.com not @microsoft.com and its invite link redirect to real website of Microsoft designer

Answer 2

IT'S SOME KIND OF PHISHING I got this email and my email manager tells me that the email contains tracking images this is the suspicious email with the same message ******@e-mail.microsoft.com

If you are interested in Microsoft Designer, I recommend entering through the official medium and not through the link in the email.

Answer 3

Shahrukh S, I don't think that @email2.office.com is a Microsoft domain.

A phishing email is an email that appears legitimate but is actually an attempt to get your personal information or steal your money.

If you receive a phishing email:

1. Never click any links or attachments in suspicious emails. If you receive a suspicious message from an organization and worry the message could be legitimate, go to your web browser and open a new tab. Then go to the organization's website from your own saved favorite, or via a web search. Or call the organization using a phone number listed on the back of a membership card, printed on a bill or statement, or that you find on the organization's official website.
2. If the suspicious message appears to come from a person you know, contact that person via some other means such as text message or phone call to confirm it.
3. Report the message (see below).
4. Delete it.

Hello Shahrukh S,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I am a Microsoft user just like you, I hope you are doing well?

When you share an email in the Community, it is removed by Microsoft for security reasons so we cannot see the link shared. Emails from Microsoft are from @Microsoft.com domain.

If you received an email confirming that you are in, go to the Microsoft Designer website and sign in.

https://designer.microsoft.com/

Please let me know if you need more assistance.
