Also, Microsoft regularly sends me legitimate emails regarding "Microsoft Rewards" that are absolutely indistinguishable from phishing, like "Total Prize Drop is here! Your chance to win 1,000,000 USD cash grand prize or one of three customizable Mercedes-Benz cars!", complete with links to login pages and everything. So like this one, just as mail: https://xcancel.com/bing/status/2034720189003231410 https://xcancel.com/bing/status/2034720189003231410
The first time I got those I couldn't believe these were legitimate. Thank you Microsoft for teaching your customers how to fall for scams!

- hombre_fatal 6mo agoMy Mexican telcom (Telcel) does this over SMS. "Sign up for Uber Eats and win 50,000 MXN of credit https://bit.ly/1234 https://bit.ly/1234" What's funny is that they also send these over the same channel: "Warning: Telcel will never call you nor ask you for your personal info!" Gee, maybe stop priming your whole customer base to click on messages identical to spam?
- anon7000 6mo agoI’m a lucky duck, because Microsoft ONLY sends me emails in Spanish. Password reset? Spanish. Ad? Spanish. ToS update? Spanish. When I log in, it’s English, and I’ve never been able to find any setting anywhere in my account saying to use English. It’s so funny, I can’t even understand their ads.
