Microsoft Termination request is this genuine?

[ozankoys]

I have received an email from Microsoft Security saying they have received a request to terminate my account unless I cancel it. Is this genuine is it phishing?

If you do a search on

'email from Microsoft Security saying they have received a request to terminate my account '

You will probably find this is a 'phising' email

Hi thanks for that suggestion but it has not really helped me. Anyone else have any ideas please?

It seems to be a Phishing scam.

The same email has emanated from a variety of (alleged) sources.

I would just delete it.

Thank you I will take your advice & delete it.

Do NOT click on link, just delete, it is phising scam from China and dangerous.

Whenever you get these doubtful mails just hover the pointer over the 'click' option in the message. This will display the address you would be sent to if you do click - usually enough to reveal the scam as you can be sure it won't be Microsoft.

This works in Firefox - I can't speak for other browsers.

Thanks to everyone who has posted it is the first time I have received an email like this so guess I have been lucky up to now! Have deleted it & changed my password.
Have a good weekend.
