Bill for Azure

Hello William Schneider,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A forum. 

When investigated it looks like you’ve received a suspicious “renewal” notice from a non-Microsoft address (yassenalbtoosh123@gmail) asking you to call 1-856-6471 for a $588.99 charge. Microsoft billing and support communications always come from an @microsoft.com (or @microsoftonline.com) address and never from a generic Gmail account. Also, official renewal notices won’t ask you to call a random phone number – they direct you to log into the Azure portal to view or manage your subscriptions.

Here’s what you can do:

1.Don’t call the number or share any personal or payment info.

2.If you want to confirm whether you have any Azure charges:

• Sign in to the Azure portal (https://portal.azure.com)
• Navigate to Cost Management + Billing → Invoices (or “Billing → Invoices”)
• Review any active subscriptions or upcoming renewals there.

3.If you truly don’t have an Azure account, there won’t be any records in the portal.

4.Mark the email as phishing/spam and delete it.

5.Forward the full email (with headers) to [******@office365.microsoft.com] so Microsoft’s security team can investigate.

Let me know if any further queries - feel free to reach out!
