hotmail email

I received a message in my Hotmail email saying that my Outlook account will be deactivated without verification. The email says my account will be suspended and contains the following message: You have up to 48 hours to accept the terms. After this period, your email account will be permanently deactivated. The sender information is: Informe - Microsoft <email address removed for privacy reasons>. Hotmail identified the message as spam. The attachments were blocked for my security. The email also contains the following message: Microsoft Account Team <email address removed for privacy reasons>. Is this email a scam? Will my account really be deactivated?
