When phishing scams are reported to Outlook what happens to them?

i rarely see junk in my inbox... but really i am sick of these scams in my junk.... they are brute obvious as scams and sickening to find several times a day...i need to keep my junk clear of this trash in order to find legitimate emails gone into the junk by mistake...i am heart sick of the viagra scam  and dating ones... etc..trying to bring me to ruin about 15 times a day..i too thought i was reaching someone by pressing that magical phishing scam button...but  disappointed..still getting same old tricksters..if we  put key words in our filters why can't these people's emails just be deleted without ever seeing them? i mean nobody else would mention such things as viagra or dating to me in their headers..this is really sickening..and has a bad affect on me every day!

I receive at least 10 phishing emails per day of people claiming that I have urgent emails from Facebook, Google and Paypal. As you well know, these companies do not send emails this way, and the addresses of origin don't even have anything to do with employees of those companies. Do you write code to block combinations of words regarding these sites when email addresses don't match? Seems quite easy, yet I continue to receive them.

On the other side of the coin, I would ask the other users who have reported phishing emails and complained here about the lack of consequences: what do you think will happen to them? The answer is nothing. The Microsoft police don't show up at anyone's house to give them a "banned for life from the internet" sentence. It is so easy, and free, to have hundreds of email addresses linked to fictitious names that it is truly impossible to trace. The only way to trace a fraud is after the money is lost, and can then be traced. But even then, if your money was stolen by a Chinese government sponsored hacker or pimply teenager in Bulgaria, what are you going to do? Again, nothing. Local governments have authority, and until they start stealing HUGE amounts of money, they fly under the radar. The best way to combat this is at the source, by improving the blocking technology and updating the "common word" archive to ensure that fewer emails get through. The fact that they all (or nearly all) appear in the junk email box is evidence of this effort.

Hi,

To block a specific sender, you can find the instructions by clicking this link. This should help in getting your query solved.

This is only reporting as to block and does nothing to help combat the problem. I'm very disappointed to learn that all the phishing emails I've reported does nothing really.

Unless a person goes to message source and looks for the received from that looks like this: ([##-###-###-##]) , and copies and pastes into a ISP look up website. will they find who to even report it to. That is a lot of work on our part. Can't microsoft do more? If good hackers can get into a hospital and control IV drips, why can't Microsoft do more to control and find these phishers?.

Seriously?  That's all it does?  I get about 5-10 junk mails a day and report all of them as phishing scams.  I had no idea that it's only blocking the emails.  That does absolutely no good because they will change the email address and keep sending this garbage!  I don't get this kind of junk in any other email address.
