Scamming - Fraud
Scammers are sending fake Microsoft Account Team emails like the one below asking potential victims to contact them at cpeyton@gmail.com or peyton@gmail.com addresses. The scammers spoof the sending email address to make the fake email appears as if it a Microsoft.
"The following security info was recently added to the Microsoft account *@outlook.com"cpeyton@gmail.com
"The following security info was recently added to the Microsoft account *@outlook.com"
cpeyton@gmail.com
If you have received emails asking you to contact cpeyton@gmail.com or peyton@gmail.com, please delete them.

Thank you for listing other email addresses. I added them all to my blocked list!
Anyone get ones saying that someone from Russia tried to log in to your account? I'm getting all kinds of fake emails. I NEVER reply to any of them. If you get these, go check your Google account (DON'T go through the suspicious email link) and check the activity/security on your account. If it's a scam, it won't appear there.
I have been requested by Microsoft Account Team if I have had contact from Waĺlecesj-hotmail.com. I have had no contact from or requested any from this sender other than the mail from Microsoft. I have no idea why they would contact me. Can the accounts team enlighten me
I just received the same email - exactly the same. It is a scam.
It is a scam, ignore them.
I also had the cpeyton-gmail.com, and now I have just got one saying Wallacesj-hotmail.com has been added. I am also getting a lot of calls from random countries. How do I know is if someone is in my account?
