Legitimate email address
Kidd_Ip But I don't think it was here's the first paragraph:
"We recently received a request to recover your Microsoft account jr**email address removed for privacy reasons. Unfortunately, we were unable to verify your ownership of this account using the information you provided. Microsoft takes the security and privacy of our customers very seriously, and our commitment to protecting your personal information requires that we take the utmost care in ensuring that you are the account owner."
I didn't request to recover anything with that account as I never lost access to it. And I would think (or hope) that if someone else was trying to get into it, MS would have locked it down so I wouldn't have been able to get into it at all, but I logged right in and was able to see all the spam email in there (which is what I set that particular outlook account up for anyhow).
There also isn't anything (as I've seen in recovery attempts that I've actually initiated) telling me what to do in the event I didn't set this process into action and who to report the fact someone else must by trying to gain access to my account.
