| 1398648 | 2015-04-15 20:49:00 | I just received an email with this subject: Reg: Your Microsoft Mobile Community Account It has paragraphs in several languages. Here is the English one: Dear User, English You’re receiving this email because you registered as a Microsoft Mobile Community member (formerly Nokia Support Discussions). We are updating a few things on the forum, including the login system. In order to continue your access to the community, please check the following link for news related to your account login. Is this legit? I do have a Nokia Lumia phone, but I don't recall ever signing up for any support group. I'm always suspicious of emails that ask me to click a link to refresh a login. This is the content of the link: click.email.microsoftemail.com/?qs=e50d2ffb27c40f0f4ceaa2d15f2a1912e284b3db482ec1 4416b3cfb9319ed56dbbfa153da6aceef4 with http:// in front of it. I had a look online, and there seems to be a MS mobile community website, and I haven't found any references to this email. I'll probably just ignore it. |

Bit like the emails I get saying my kiwi Bank or BNZ account is going to be locked if I don't sign in, then a few days later another saying it has been locked and click the link to unlock it ---- Not bad considering I don't have an account with either banks :D Did it once, fake number -- Wont say what I put for the password -- You can guess though ( started with go--) :eek: |

| 1398653 | 2015-04-16 05:50:00 | The thing is there is usually something in the email that gives it away as phishing. This looks totally legit except AFAIK I never signed up for the service. | Tony (4941) | ||
| 1398654 | 2015-04-16 08:44:00 | Domain looks legit whois.domaintools.com |

| 1398655 | 2015-04-16 10:08:00 | The most interesting thing in that Whois is that MS are associated with 68015 other domains! I've deleted the email now anyway - they'll be back in touch if they need me. | Tony (4941) | ||
