Hello! I had a sophisticated con artist approach a realtor claiming they were me. They used my name @Out-Look.com as their email address and contact handle. They opened an escrow account in my name and tried to sell my land to a straw buyer! Can Microsoft shut this scam copycat "same name" down? They only go the realtor's interest because of this copycat domain. The site is just being used to commit fraud.

Hello,
Welcome to the Microsoft Outlook Community.
Good evening. I am very sorry to hear about what happened. The first step is to file an official report with the police. Do you still have access to the email account used by the scammers? Are you able to log in via a web browser?
Awaiting your reply...
Hi! Thanks I never had access to the account because the domain is not outlook.com it's out-look.com.
So, the site www.out-look.com is a copycat of outlook.com just used for email scams. Microsoft can shut it down, but www.out-look.com is hiding as a "blank page" and the email address is being used by the owner or someone who knows the owner of out-look.com
Really appreciate your response! Bless
Thanks!
