SPAM, stating it is from MICROSOFT, but being sent from an AOL e-mail address. It looks like SPAM to me. Anyone else receiving this type of e-mail?

    Hello,

    Aol.com is a non-Microsoft and a free third party platform anyone can sign up for a free account to email you. Don't fall for it.

    A legitimate email from Microsoft regarding your account always comes from domains ending in @accountprotection.microsoft.com
