Got an email on my Windows 11 PC saying my mailbox was nearly full and I had to click a button to keep it active. It looked a bit off, but the sender name was familiar enough. I left it alone. Is this likely a scam, and what’s the safest way to check without clicking anything?

Got a pop-up on my Windows 11 desktop saying my browser was “out of date” and needed an update straight away, but it looked a bit off. I closed it and checked the browser myself. Has anyone seen this sort of thing before? Is it proper or just dodgy?
