VANITY QUESTION RE MICROSOFT: In my outlook.com email I received an email from (allegedly) msn.com. Does anyone know, or have an idea, if it’s legit? Here it is:
“This is to notify you for the final time that we will stop processing incoming emails on your account and email deactivation will take place anytime from August 15th to give room for our updated versions.

It is a “”phishing email” that has been going around for years. I am surprised you have not received it before. Do not use any links from the email or even open it a second time. It wouldn’t hurt to run a malware scan since you opened it.
