The "paste this code to join the meeting" pageDANGER
A real scam people fell for this year, next to the real thing. The numbers mark the three things to check: hover or tap one to see what it tells you.
How do you want to join your Teams meeting?
Or open the Teams app
Quarterly review with Dana Whitfield, 2:00 PM.
Your sign-in code: LQ7X-K2PN. Click Continue to Microsoft, paste the code and sign in.
Always check the code.
It hands you a code to paste into Microsoft's real sign-in page. That code links the scammer's app to your account, so it can read your email and files.
teams.microsoft.com is Microsoft's own Teams site.
teams-meetingjoin.com has Teams in its name, but Microsoft doesn't own it.
It asks how you want to join. That's all.
It wants you to paste its code into Microsoft and sign in.
No extra steps.
A "verify to join" step before a meeting with your boss.
RememberNever paste a code someone gave you into a Microsoft or Google sign-in page. Codes only go one way: from your screen to your own device.
