If you let your account unused for more than two years, it may be closed.Today I received an email claiming that my OneDrive account is going to be deleted as it has been unused for the past two years. The email urges me to visit OneDrive to reactivate my account before a date roughly 3 months from now so I may keep my account.

The email does not use my (fake) name associated with the account, or any name at all.

The links go to, whereas onedrive is typically accessed from.

The only place I can find that says the above site is correct is wikipedia.

The whois information isn't overly helpful (to my untrained eye), but is quite different from the whois information.

Email is from seems within reason, but a little odd.3 of the 4 links in the email go to the same page, just with a different UUID attached to the end.Please note that all Microsoft email notifications will be from an address with at the end. Microsoft has sent me legit emails from other domains before.Microsoft hasn't picked it up as a scam/junk (not many get through).Ĭlearly not understanding the phishing risk this causes for their users.Thunderbird hasn't marked it either (normally gives me tons of false positives).It is a domain one would expect Microsoft to have snapped up.Go to the legit website and log in, if it's a scam then no harm, if it's not then problem solved.Unfortunately, I'm the tech geek for quite a few family members that don't understand online scams so well.

However, Microsoft OneDrive is far from the worst cloud storage provider out there. If it is indeed a scam, I need to let them know so they can recognize it. It offers a personal vault, AES 256-bit encryption and the free use of.
