RodrigoLode(MSFT), could you help us, users from Spain and Latin America with a similar problem we are having with the advertising that appears in Outlook?.There is a phishing campaign, using the name of Microsoft for months, and there is no way to contact someone to help us eliminate the problem. There are numerous affected users.
If you need the web addresses of the advertisements or the links to the Discussion threads, I will indicate to you in my next answer.
Thanks and best regards.
