Maybe you didn't know, but clicking Unsubscribe in a message that isn't legit is just going to open you up to more spam.

Also, there's absolutely nothing you can do to prevent an email from arriving in your mailbox.

If the emails are going to your Junk Email folder then the system is working.

No one from Microsoft is going to see this and do anything about it. Just you moving the spams into the Junk Email folder reports it to the backend servers.

    I've the same problem. I noticed in the source of all the emailings as the hidden sender the email address *** Email address is removed for privacy ***.

    Is this also the email address you guys see? If so, the organization 'nationalevacaturebank' maybe has something to do with this, maybe sold my address to organisations who sends the spam emailings.

    As a tip. In outlook you can set a rule for recognition of the word Midpark and as an action sent the emailings to your spam folder. It really helps.

    I've been reporting about 4 e-mails pr day for 6 months from this sender, as pishing and junk they still keep coming. And outlook still doesnt do anything, I was considering closing my outlook and changing over to Google-mail. But hopefully the tip here about setting a rule that email with messages containing "73 Botley Road, PA20 7FZ,MIDPARK" will lett me keep my e-mail adress that i have had since 2002. If this doesnt work, than bye bye Outlook

    Hi! Thanks for responding. I agree with you that it should be very easy for Microsoft to stop these mails at the root. I have tried to contact their helpdesk but they do not come up with a solution and second time just cut me off.

    I have tried to make Rules, but that only helps for a day or two. These guys know what they are doing and change the content every few days to find byways, even their postal address, but usually from Wisconsin USA.

    The sender's addresses are hidden and I don't know where to find them (I am an older person and not very good at this), so it will be hard for me to report to ICO. And as you said, will it be of any help?

    In the header on your Outlook mail account you can see "Rules", it is in between "new mail" and "remove". Otherwise use the "more options" button all the way at the end: "...". Open it and it speaks for itself. Unfortunately the guys that send this garbage change headings and body text every few days, so it helps only for a short while. And does not help at all for new ads for different products. Still have 40 or so coming daily. Their email address is always hidden and I have no idea hoe to find that one out.

    Why Microsoft is doing nothing to stop this - since it apparently annoys a lot of people - remains a mystery to me.
