randall, I received an email stating that it was from outlook support and that I had requested my email account be deactivated and that it came from i.p. addressxxx,x,xxxx.  it went on to say ... "click on   secure youremail accountverify to cancel this request; else youe email account will be deactivated and deleted within 24 hours". ( it was written exactly like that with the words run together) is this a valid email? it says its from the outlook team ( *** Email address is removed for privacy ***) thanks
