Your Microsoft Storage is Almost Full Scam

About the Scam

• Suspicious Sender: The email address is not from a legitimate @accountprotection.microsoft.com domain.
• Urgency & Threats: The message claims your email or files will be deleted unless you act immediately.
• Phishing Links: The "Manage Storage" button leads to a fake, non-Microsoft site designed to steal passwords.
• False Warnings: The email often states your storage is full, even if you never use OneDrive or Outlook.

Protect Yourself

• Check Directly: Open a browser and log in directly to your account at account.microsoft.com to check usage, as reported by Microsoft Learn.
• Do Not Click: Never click links or download attachments from such emails.
• Look for Mistakes: Poor grammar, spelling errors, and generic greetings are common signs of phishing.
• Verify the Sender: Carefully check the sender's email address.
