Outlook Disruption – A Reminder About Scam Calls

You may have seen reports of the widespread disruption affecting Microsoft Outlook and other Microsoft 365 services.

Unfortunately, situations like this can also present opportunities for fraudsters, who may attempt to take advantage of the confusion.

With this in mind, we’d like to share a quick reminder with our community.

If you receive an unexpected phone call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft or technical support, offering to resolve problems with your email or computer, please be cautious.

A few things worth remembering:

You can check Microsoft’s official service updates at https://status.cloud.microsoft/

Suspicious calls can be reported to Report Fraud at https://www.reportfraud.police.uk or by calling 0300 123 2040.

A little awareness can go a long way. If you know someone who may not have heard about the disruption, perhaps consider passing this information on.

Stay safe,
