I would forward that email to Microsoft. It sure sounds like a spoof, especially if you don't have that software.

Just look at the url that your email actually points to in the link. If it's a scam, it will point to something other than Microsoft.com, likely an IP address rather than a DNS entry.

I bet someone just entered the wrong email address. The program just came out a week
or two ago so a lot of people are registering it.

Or a friend of his used his address so Seph would get the spam.

No, if I wanted to spam Seph, I'd spam in his mouth, not his inbox.
