I usually move on and delete this type of mail but from what I can see this looks legit. What do you think, i'll delete it anyway but might aswel post here for a warning...


The email is from 'HotmailOutlookCheck'

It contains in the body

All this is saying is that it was delivered to you from Microsoft's email servers, but that doesn't mean it was Microsoft who wrote the content. When you send an email through hotmail/live using their app or webmail client etc then your message is sent off to these servers to forward it into the receipt.

It's a bit like Royal Mail. I could ship you something illegal in the post. Royal Mail would show as the "sending server", but they were unaware of the contents.
