And they legitimately looked like it was from Office 365.

However, in my case, I was unable to click on it. Obviously, this particular e-mail being in my Junk folder was the first red flag. The second red flag was that I couldn&#8217;t see fully who had sent this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This scam is still active and doesn&#8217;t appear to be stopping anytime soon. Pay attention to the senders&#8217; e-mail address and do not click any links in your Junk folder e-mails.
