Thanks for the warning, people get scammed all the time warnings are good.

Various people I know who work at Microsoft say that if you get a phone call a letter bogus. That emails saying its from Microsoft it is usually not from them either. Some alerts from outlook team come via email but any email asking you to do the remote connect your computer or click link are a big danger.
The email is the one most people fall for. Microsoft has access to your computer unless you have unclicked the update function and will give you a popup that asks you to ok update installs. My husband asked my son if he should respond to such an email and after the roll of the eyes he got a resounding NO, that he should click the update icon on the computer and it would update automatic.
