This morning a user where I work forwarded me an email they received supposedly from the Microsoft Digital Crimes Unit (pictured below). The subject of the email was ?Safety & Security Update?. So watch out and let your friends and family know about it too. Although the Microsoft Digital Crimes Unit does exist the email is a fake. So don't click the link in the email if you get it. Just delete the mutha*explicative* email. As you can see it has been making the rounds since March (information on the fake email in the link below)
