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. Paul
