Update from a VP at Microsoft: https://x.com/shanselman/status/2041977121686585396?s=46
Expect someone read and follow instructions in email are not that realistic anymore
The ones that tell you there’s a problem with your MS365 subscription, but don’t tell you which one are an especially exciting challenge to deal with. Bonus points if they warn about “possible data deletion” without specifying what.
These are real? I get these in my spam box all the time and they have all the hallmarks of a phishing scam, urgency combined with vague description with no verifiable details that aren't gleaned from my email address itself.
This is (mainly) why I stopped using email.
If you need to send me something, you'll need to send me a postcard (PO Box).
Were I to ever go back to digital communication, it would be by whitelists, only.
And the real problem is that most commercial companies make their legitimate administrative/legal mails look more & more like spam or phishing mails, not the other way around.
