Thanks,

This was very authentic looking.
I got 2 of them. Even putting cursor over the link appears to be legitimate.
Expanding the headers shows it originate at Microsoft.
I know better so I didn’t click
But just in case I did log on as I normally do and change passwords
If you ever get an email from anyone you know or do business with, go to the actual website. Never click on a link and you won’t have your computer comprised
