Fake Microsoft Teams Invite for Real Estate Lead

A reddit report about a phishing scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

I'm a real estate agent, and I got a lead on one of my commercial properties from an out-of-state person. They emailed me and said they'd like to set up a Teams meeting to go over information about the property. I input their meeting info into Teams and it says it doesn't exist. However, they gave a 'join' link which isn't a Microsoft.com address and it brings me to what seems like a fake Microsoft Store webpage to 'Download the newest version of Teams.' I'm not going to lie, I have never used Teams so I don't know how links work when inviting someone to a meeting, but all my red flags are going up. Is this an attempt at a scam?
