OneDrive ‘DocuSign this Document’ Phishing Scam

This email claims that a document has been sent to you via Microsoft’s document storage and sharing platform OneDrive.

The subject line of the email suggests that you need to provide an electronic signature using DocuSign. An included link urges you to click to access your Office365 account and review the supposed document.

However, the email has no connection  to Microsoft, OneDrive, Office365, or DocuSign.   Instead, it is a phishing scam designed to steal your Microsoft Account login  details.

If you click the link in the scam email, you will be taken to a fraudulent  website that asks you to sign in to your Microsoft Account by entering your email address and account password. You will then be automatically redirected to a  genuine Microsoft login web page.

The scammers can now collect the information that you supplied on the fake site and use it to gain access to your Microsoft Account.  



Your Microsoft Account login may provide access to a number of linked services including email, Skype,   OneDrive, and Office360.

Thus,   once they have gained entry, the scammers can use these services  to launch spam and  scam campaigns, collect and steal your personal information,   and conduct fraudulent transactions and activities in your name.

If you receive one of these bogus emails, do not click any links or open any attachments that it contains.

Phishing scams like this continue to be very common.
