Just got a fake “Windows security” pop-up on my Windows 11 laptop while I was balancing invoices in my home office. It said my browser was blocked and told me to call a number right away, but it looked off and kept flashing even after I closed the tab. Has anyone else seen this kind of scare message lately?

Just now I got a “shared document” notice in Outlook on my Windows 11 laptop, and it pretended to come from someone I’ve never heard of. The subject looked harmless, but the attachment name and the odd reply-to address made me stop. Has anyone else been seeing these fake document-sharing emails lately?
Just got a “Microsoft account password expiring today” email on my Windows 11 laptop, and the wording felt off right away. The sender name looked normal, but the address was a mess of random letters, and the link wanted me to sign in through a page that didn’t look right. I deleted it, but it still made me pause. Are you all seeing more of these lately?
This morning I got a “delivery exception” message on my Windows 11 laptop that looked like it was from a shipping company, but the tracking number didn’t match anything I was expecting. The page wanted me to confirm my address and card info to reschedule. I closed it right away and checked the order myself in the browser. Has anyone else seen these lately?
