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

Thanks Rod.

Best of Luck, after 6 months I finally got to speak to a microsoft help desk operator about this, and they basically stated that the emails are a result of a third party being given our email addresses from something we have signed up to or entered our email address in. I tried to look at the coding in the back of the email to track the source, but don't have the experience to do this. Oddly enough, the emails vary in content and where they appear to be from.

I personally think microsoft aren't doing enough to protect our accounts given we are on paid subscriptions.

And, Yes it would be awesome to know if more can be done.

I have the same problem, it started maybe a year or more ago... I get many spam mails in my Hotmail inbox every day (sometimes up to 50!) and flagging them as spam or phishing doesn't seem to help... Assistance would be very much appreciated, I have had this email address for 10+ years and would hate to have to change it!

12-12-2024 i got a few emails from entities i want and 27 spam

which most have been checked blocked in past

i no longer use hotmail since having to sort through over 100 spams when a emai i wanted mistakingly went in spam folder

if i get 3 spams in a yr on my g mail accounts thats a lot

This is getting beyond ridiculous! Microsoft, fix it or lose customers!! NOW!!!!! I’ve gotten 20 in the past couple of days!

It definitely has to do with 365. If you aren’t paying for it, you get more spam emails. How do I know? I let my 365 subscription expire and sure enough, the spam emails started!

Quit gouging your customers for money, you greedy company!!!!
