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.

    Microsoft is also raising the price of Office 365. I could give them that, but since they don’t care about their customers…why bother? They are nothing but a greedy, narcissistic company.

    Certainly wish MS try to do something or make it easier to block addresses.

    they don't care. I wasted an hour of my life 'chatting' with an agent, who opened outlook the program on my PC, which I NEVER use, told me changing the spam filter on there will solve all my problems. It didn't do anything, my issue was legit e-mail going into spam, he 'turned off' my outlook spam filter when i pointed to the outlook.com UI, where you can't turn it off. He said they are the same, I clearly know more than these idiots. They told me there is no one that can look at the server back-end spam filtering. What a joke. I finally have given up after a year of this non-sense an moved all my e-mail back to Yahoo.
