Has anyone dealt with this before?
I have seen this question asked a few times in the Microsoft question area but there was never a solution provided. I have never had a Microsoft account linked to my personal email.
Yesterday I received a series of emails from Microsoft :
The first one was asking me to verify my gmail address. (for example lets assume my email was [email protected])
A couple of minutes later I received a confirmation email saying that I had created a new Microsoft account.
A third email then came saying that I had changed the email address used to sign up to a different email.
Orginal email [email protected]
New email: [email protected]
I had nothing to do with creating the new account. Since I did not crate the new account I can't recover it or do anything else with it.
From what I can tell no one accessed my gmail account; I've changed the password just in case.
Is this something to be worried about? My name is fairly unique but there are a couple more people with it in North America with it.
Why create a new account with my email only to change it to a different one?
