    Is this a genuine email or a scam?

    I received an email today from Microsoft 365 <Microsoft365@email.microsoft365.com> asking me to sign in to maintain access to the free version of Teams and its benefits.

    Email Scam?

    Hi there marionandrews1, I will be your Independent Advisor for today, I hope we can both resolve your problem.

    Its a scam, Microsoft will never ask for anything like this.

    Check the email domain, is it from @microsoft.com? or what does it look like?
