MailGuard has identified a new scam using a fake Office 365 notification email that links to a phishing site; *see screenshot above.* The scam is designed to steal your Office 365 login credentials.

Recipients of the scam email are informed that their "office email" will be deactivated, and instructed to click on a link in the message to *“cancel deactivation.”*

The link in this email is actually pointing to the fake login page that asks for Office 365 login data.

The sender address associated with this scam message is: ‘[noreply@notifications.com’](mailto:noreply@notifications.com’)
