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

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.

    I use 365 as well and am paying for it. It wasn't until I signed up to 365 that I started getting spammed. I have also contacted MS through chat and they have conceded that there is nothing more they can do or are actively doing to stop these spammers. They have also confirmed that there is nothing we as users can do from our end even in settings that will stop this barrage. Further to that their chat sessions do not report back to microsoft. I have had enough, as would have many others. This is their issue and they need to fix it. I have reported 1000s + of emails to phishing yet they still keep coming, and more and more each day. We need to find a way to have microsoft listen to us and act on this issue. Is there a class action going??? Does anyone have an email address that reach someone that will actually listen to us????

    If someone starts a class action, I’ll join.

    Does any one have any email addresses for Microsoft so I can forward all of my spam, so they can get a taste of what we are enduring. Maybe they might take action then.

    I’ve been looking for it too. The fact that an email is not readily available, definitely shows me that they are hiding things, possibly some shady activity going on.

    If you contact them through the chat, you will get a response from someone and the email address will then be known. Bit loathed to give the email address I have as it may be against some policy, and seeing as my business email address is through MS, and I use 365, I could be blacklisted...
