I have come to know that its not only me who received this kind of fake and phishing email but rather, so many out there are getting it and for your information, it will be unwise if you follow any of the links provided in the email since they will lead you to a site which is set up to steal your identity and private information as its not an official message from Microsoft. Sometimes such people make use of our limited know how to lure us as their targets. But of course, if you have some good knowledge about how it works, you can easily avoid falling a victim just like Examlabs VCE is good at helping you find answers to everything.

I had decided to stay silent on this but the speed at which those messages are circulating to Microsoft account holders inform of security alert requires many to stay aware if one is to keep his or her privacy safe.

Don’t fall victim of phishing, never provide your personal information to any unknown sites however much they may look similar to the official ones you know. That will help you to stay safe.
