Do I need to agree terms & conditions for email 2026?

Question

Hi, I've had two emails recently - sender URL look suspicious. They say I have to agree to updated Microsoft terms & conditions for outlook 2026. The emails contain basic links yo upgrade / agree.

The emails are unsolicited and seem suspicious - although branded as Microsoft. Does anyone know if these are legitimate requests?

Answer 1

This Email is widely reported at the moment, it is most likely a phishing scam, near the top of that Email is it indicated an AOL Email address, if so, that is a phishing scam, do not click anything in the Email and delete it.

Answer 2

Ok, thank you for the swift response

Answer 3

It sounds like the emails you received could potentially be phishing attempts, especially since they are unsolicited and the sender URLs look suspicious. Microsoft typically sends emails from specific domains such as microsoft.com, microsoftsupport.com, or mail.support.microsoft.com. If the emails are coming from different domains, they are likely not legitimate.

You should not click on any links or provide any personal information in response to these emails. Instead, you can verify any updates regarding terms and conditions by visiting the official Microsoft website directly. If you suspect that the emails are phishing attempts, you can report them to Microsoft.
