When you look at the raw email with all of its fancy header text,
is there anything that resembles a Microsoft domain in there ?

*******

Please note, that you are the second person in a few days,
to be phished... while presenting a real-email address in
a USENET message. The other poster, he does not use that
email address for official Microsoft related purposes,
making the attempted phish easy to detect.

Looks like there is a campaign underway
feeding off recent USENET usage and some harvested email
addresses. It's OK to use a real email... if you have
the skillz to handle the incoming phish. It would
not be a good idea to use your posted email address, as
part of registering for a Microsoft MSA for W10/W11 usage.
As then the phish could be believable.
