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

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.

    Eddy, this has helped stop a lot of emails coming through to me.

    Click on the three dots on the email ...

    Go down to VIEW and VIEW MESSAGE SOURCE

    You will get a box full of computer speak.

    Scroll down a bit until you see the FROM line - mine shows as Message-ID, Thread Topic, Thread-Index, From

    It then gives you were the email was sent from.

    Highlight the address and copy

    Open SETTINGS - the cog thingy at top of page in Outlook.

    Select Junk email and ADD it to the Blocked Senders and Domains.

    I have been copying in the full email address and saving and then just the domain part aswell, and saving.

    So it would be " ******@wdIZPKJqQKBlkEwFDUup.com" , SAVE, and then, " wdIZPKJqQKBlkEwFDUup.com" & SAVE

    Touch wood, rabbitts foot and any other lucky charm but Botley Road and the likes appear to have been thwarted for now. Most of the ones I get are one's you can just block from the email itself.

    I am still sending every single one to ******@phishing.gov.uk ,  but not sure what they do, if anything.

    Still get some through but seems to have stemmed the tide. They were previosuly coming from the likes of "******@screwfix.com", ie: proper words, but now they are coming thru from random number / letter generated addressess.

    It has worked for me for the moment, give it a go and hopefully it'll work for you>

    If "new outlook" means Office Outlook, like Outlook 365, this article should help:

    Makes sense and I tried it, but in my Outlook there is no blocking function anymore. I tried to make a 'rule' but that does not help one bit - it just does not work, these mails keep coming, whatever I try.

    Thing I do not understand is what Outlook has to gain with not taking any action. Contacted them twice and they come up with useless answers. A way to gain revenues? Spend about 5 minutes each day clearing my In-box, careful to remove not proper ones. Getting so tired of it...
