I received this email from Microsoft regarding a subscription that I didnt sign up for. Is this a scam? The email address looks official. It is frustrating because there is no way I could email Microsoft to help me out.

    Hello, thank you for your reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

    The email shows several clear signs of a phishing scam, and it is 100 percent a fraudulent message. Do not click any links or respond to this email.

    Urgent request to call the Phone number - Microsoft no longer asks customers to call the Phone number in emails like this.

    Fake Subscription charge - Microsoft never sends emails saying you've been added to a Teams subscription with an unexpected charge of 488.98 USD.

    Also, there are several things like poor formatting, fake invoice numbers, and an incorrect message saying you were added as a guest with a payment charge.

    I recommend you mark the email as junk or report it as phishing by selecting (Report > Phishing).

    Note - Microsoft does not send subscription notices in this format, and they never ask customers to call random phone numbers for billing issues. Please delete the email and do not respond to it.
