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.

    Also started randomly getting these about a week or 2 ago to the tune of about 80 emails a day.

    They do go straight to junk but it makes catching anything that goes into that folder by mistake a much more difficult task.

    I have been contacting Microsoft Support multiple times, at least six, and each time someone promises to sort out the problem. Never happens. I have been given instructions to send the information from the 'View Message Source', send them the original email by downloading it and then use the Problem Steps Recorder to demonstrate the problems I am having.

    I copied the View Message Source and saved it as instructed but the Secure File Exchange would not accept them.

    I followed the instruction to send them a copy of the original email but when I came to download the message my computer, or Microsoft that is, warned me it come harm my system!!

    I used the PSR as instructed, but whilst it recorded what I was doing, it didn't record the all important highlighted message I got when trying to add a domain to the Block list.

    Think I am resigned to just changing my email address and being a lot more careful on who I divulge it to. I have had the same one since email began and a lot of things have changed since with regard to privacy, so maybe if I change it I will get at least a period of time before the spammers get me again.

    Microsoft are not interested, and neither it seems is anyone else !!

    Blijkbaar hebben velen hetzelfde probleem. En even blijkbaar is er geen oplossing. Bedankt microsoft.

    From Dutch:

    Apparently many have the same problem. And apparently there is no solution. Thanks microsoft.

    I am trying and have tried, but nothing works. Even worse: the moment I open my mailbox spam starts flooding in, so I have to sign out quickly. WHY DOES NOT OUTLOOK DO SOMETHING!!!???
