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

    If it is coming from a different address, please be careful as it can be phishing scam. Don't click on the link in the email, instead, always check your account directly via https://account.live.com > Microsoft storage. If it looks good there you have nothing to worry about.

    SO microsoft could care less if you get help. I'm going to spam the message since it differs with my account.
