    Rest your mouse pointer (don't click) on the sender's name. A small window will pop up that shows you the sender's actual email address. Does it look legit?

    Hi, @Raff Yousif

    @communication.microsoft.com can be a legitimate Microsoft email domain, so the domain alone does not mean the email is a scam.

    However, since the email is asking you to update your Microsoft account, do not click any links in it yet.

    Instead, open a new browser tab and sign in directly at: https://account.microsoft.com

    If Microsoft really needs you to update something, check whether there is any notice or action required there.

    To help confirm the email:

    1. What is the complete sender address shown before @communication.microsoft.com?
    2. What exactly is the email asking you to update?
    3. Does it contain a button or link asking you to sign in or enter personal/payment information?

    If possible, post a screenshot of the email here, but hide or blur your email address and any personal information. This forum is public.

    Thanks!

    Yes—treat it as suspicious.

    Microsoft support email domains listed in the documentation are:

    • microsoft.com
    • microsoftsupport.com
    • mail.support.microsoft.com
    • office365support.com
    • techsupport.microsoft.com

    communication.microsoft.com is not listed among those support domains in the provided guidance.

    What to do:

    1. Do not reply.
    2. Do not click any links.
    3. Do not open attachments.
    4. Check the sender details in Outlook. If Outlook shows a ?, a via tag, or a banner saying the sender could not be verified, be extra cautious.
    5. If the message asks for urgent action, account verification, or credentials, treat it as phishing.
    6. If needed, open a new browser tab and sign in to the Microsoft account site directly using a saved favorite or a manual search, not the link in the email.
    7. Report or delete the message.

    Also watch for common phishing signs such as mismatched domains, subtle misspellings, suspicious links, and unexpected attachments.
