My Outlook inbox is suddenly getting a ton of spam and I don't know how to stop it

Anonymous

Last week, my personal Outlook email started getting ~50 spam emails per day. I barely ever use this email address, so I am not sure how or why this began to happen. How can I stop all of this spam from getting to my inbox?

I have been flagging all of the emails as spam, but it doesn't seem to be stopping the influx of emails I am getting.

These past few weeks, the SPAM has suddenly just stopped on both of my Hotmail accounts.

We are talking literally 200+/day for years, to less than one-per-day.

Who do you report them to?

Highlight/tick box on email, click "Report".

On your Outlook Mail web page using your PC/laptop (not using on your phone or the App) you use the phishing button (says 'Report') then there is another button saying 'Block'.

Highlight all the junk emails then report them, then after block them (they will have gone into the deleted folder)

The whole issue is it all stared for everyone around the same time....and reporting leads to more frustration and no solutions...thats why commencing a class action is IMHO the only option
