Microsoft,

please take action in blocking in some way the continous spam emails from: 73 Botley Road, PA20 7FZ, MIDPARK

I have done everthing: unsubscribe from these emails, block, report as phising, set rules, ... but nothing works. They keep on comming in.

I read that a lot of people are encountering this issue, all comming from this same address: 73 Botley Road, PA20 7FZ, MIDPARK

Please take action here !

Greetings.

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.

    Hi Frank! It's so annoying isn't it, I'm getting about 300 emails now per day from spam accounts, I've tried it all but nothing has worked yet. I blame Facebook for it as if you click to read an article i believe they sell your email add to everyone and anyone! Apart from shutting down my email address of at least 15 years I'm not sure what else to do!!

    I wish you good luck! Tell me if it works, with me it does not. Some of my regular mail from adresses that are safe and in my adressbook, now sometimes end up straight in my Deleted box! Be aware the same does not happen to you.

    I have set up a JUNK rule. If the subject or body contains certain words it deletes the email.
    Each day I add a few words to the list.

    The list is huge.

    Today I am going to add 'MIDPARK' and that should delete all these emails when they come in.

    If you select Permanently Delete then it is a Client (computer) only rule and will only run when you open outlook.

    If you select Delete then it runs at the server.

    See my post on 13th October re: View Message Source. If the emails are all coming from the same address this will stop them. I forward each one to ******@phishing.gov.uk, and use the REPORT button. The Botley ones seem to have ceased for the time being. However, other than doing what just stated I have basically given up, no one who can do anything is interested. Funny though, a year or two ago it was all about phone calls and they managed to stop most of them, suppose in a year or two the emails will be sorted. A lot of the TV about fraud at the moment, don't they realise these emails are part of it??? Someone who is a techie could invent an APP that only allows TRUSTED emails to get through, they'd be millionaires within a week.
