How to Safely Report an Unexpected Clipchamp Welcome Email

Product: Clipchamp
Device & OS: not provided
Scenario: Receiving an unsolicited welcome email for a service the user did not register for and wanting to report it safely.
Observed behavior: An unexpected 'Welcome to Clipchamp' email appears in the inbox, raising concerns about unauthorized account creation or phishing scams.

Before you start

Do not click on any links, buttons, or attachments within the unexpected Clipchamp email, as doing so may expose your device to malware or confirm your email address to scammers.

Solution 1Recommended

Verify the Sender and Report the Email as Phishing

Safely identify if the email is a scam and use your email provider's built-in tools to report it.

Many phishing scams use fake welcome emails to trick users into clicking malicious links. It is essential to use your email provider's secure reporting features rather than interacting with the email directly.

Check the sender address

Without clicking any links in the body, hover over or click on the sender's display name at the top of the email to reveal the actual email address. Legitimate emails from Microsoft typically end in @microsoft.com or @clipchamp.com.

Report as phishing

In your email client (such as Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo), locate the 'Report Spam' or 'Report Phishing' button in the top toolbar and click it to alert your provider.

Delete the email

Once the message has been reported to your email provider, delete it permanently from your inbox to prevent accidental clicks in the future.

Verify the Sender and Report the Email as Phishing

Security Tip: Reporting the email as phishing instead of just deleting it helps your email provider improve its spam filters, protecting both you and other users.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did I get a Clipchamp welcome email if I didn't sign up?

You might receive this email if a scammer is sending phishing emails designed to look like Clipchamp, if someone accidentally typed your email address during sign-up, or if a recent Microsoft update automatically activated a Clipchamp instance linked to your active Microsoft account.

Is it safe to click 'Unsubscribe' in an unexpected welcome email?

No. Clicking 'Unsubscribe' in a suspicious or unsolicited email often confirms to scammers that your email address is active and monitored, which can lead to even more spam. It is safer to mark the email as spam or phishing through your email client.

What should I do if my Microsoft account shows unauthorized activity?

If you notice unfamiliar sign-ins, immediately change your Microsoft account password. Additionally, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) and select the option to sign out of all devices from your Microsoft Security dashboard.
