I reported two phishing scams to Outlook by clicking on the drop down "report phishing scam" in the Outlook mail app. Where does the phish e-mail go and is it reported to the genuine company, in this case a bank? Also, why can't a suspicious e-mail be forwarded to a reporting agency without opening it and exposing my computer and possibly my contact list to the bad guys?

Sounds more helpful that the mighty MS corporation, I will try SpamCop, and if others can do same...
Thanks
Occasionally, a provider will come up as having requested to not receive reports from SpamCop - when that happens, I usually just forward the offending email directly to the e-mail address they've asked SpamCop not to send reports to.
There were several domains that used to appear regularly in the spam - Willaidea.com, Perfectate.com, Surfspoil.net, Waiteams.net, suptingled.net, Emprestimes.com, Paswaits.com, Compasfood.com, Asleeping.net, Prolifefood.com, etc; before using SpamCop, I was receiving several a day from each. I haven't received anything from any of them in weeks.

Thanks for responding with something useful! In the last couple of months I started to notice a dramatic increase junk email. Bank loans, Girls from Russia, ED Resolutions, Home Warranty, Skin Cell Fixes, Credit Scores Free, Liquid Marijuana, and of course the TAC-800 flashlight that can light up a dark moon! I started by opening them then scrolling down to 'UNSUBSCRIBE'. I did this a couple thousand times. Then I noticed 'Phishing'. I started mass clicking them on Phishing. Dis a couple thousand more that way. But, I still get over a hundred or more a day...90% are repeat offenders. It has become ridiculous. So, I decided to reach out on the net through Microsoft. Then get some numb-nuts answers. I don't know how to defeat this. Tired of the junk. Microsoft needs to take Phished and deleted junk emails and put them in the 'Basket of Deplorables',assigned to our accounts, and crack down on this waste of out time, filling server and net memory with trash and junk emails. They need to do something constructive with all of their software engineering experience and start to clean this mess up. I think. It has become totally out of reason.
You didn't answer the question. In the past 2 months, I started getting 40 and 50 filthy emails a day. I have blocked them that don't have me as the sender, and still get them. You people don't do anything about blocked emails or phishing scam emails.
I've started using SpamCop: it sends spam reports directly to admin of the provider that the e-mails are being sent through, and the site(s) that the e-mail links to. My spam level has decreased enormously in the six weeks or so I've been using it!
