Is there any tell it's a scam? This looks immaculate!

I guess you know it's fake because you never bought a license.

It's either that or somebody gave me 3 licenses :)

What do the headers look like?

I received the same email and, damn, the sender is actually Microsoft. Reality poor security management (as usual) from them. But the SPF record exists, so the scammer exploited something else.

Leads to Microsoft. So, I think they want me to call the phone number and get me into their "scam-susceptible phone lists".

So double weird.

I tried to search the email that I received, but I cannot find it, trashed.

I doubt the sender was @microsoft.com, right?

Or no SPF in place? Crazy.

Btw, I'm also getting a lot of phishing emails branded Microsoft lately.
