One thing to do is to look at the message header by viewing the message
source. Anything that looks like a URL or address that DOESN'T look like
it's absolutely from Microsoft, you can safely discard.....
But I wouldn't even open the message. I'm copying Ed Bott as he swims in
these waters every day.
Truly, seems like it's bogus and a phishing/malware attempt.
