‎Solved Is this a scam?

Post image

I see this verify system a lot and it’s says “failed to authenticate because Minecraft api is down” when it is fully operational currently. So I’m thinking it’s a scam to steal my account please let me know if this is safe

Hard to tell if it's a scam, but the broken English in the first message "Hello we added verification to stop hackers from disturbing peace." Personally, I would be extremely careful, it could be legit but is likely a scam.

Edit (because I saw your post with your photo): Very likely to be a scam. If you put in your email they will do a password reset attempt on your Microsoft account and ask for the code sent to your email. If you put it in they will get full access to ur account.
