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

this is just BS!!!!!!

ive had hotmail for maybe 20 years or more and i have never had these issues sure there have been spam/scam mails BUT never like this so when will MS fix there BS?? i am very tired getting a ton off **** in my mail each and everyday so fix this or many off us might just leave MS and go too gmail instead sure its a pain in the **** and sadly i will still need outlook for some places but where ever i will be able change i will!!!! and if MS nows their best they will keep their customers and threat us old loyal customers with care and not like ****

so we need a solution provied by MS so that a blocked/reported message can´t get thru once blocked/reported as junk so if MS gonna help us we might stay if not we just might migrate i guess...im sorry MS but i do won´t take this anymore i have had this problem for a long time now so do something about it so we can protect our mail

THANK YOU

Same here - I've been blocking/reporting about 40-50 emails per day for about 6 straight weeks now, and they just keep coming. My main issue is that they're coming to the Focused Inbox, so I get annoying push notifications on my cell phone each time. Why isn't the junk folder catching all or at least most of them like it had done for about 20 years previously?

One other issue - sometimes it won't even let me block the sender because a message pops up that says "can't block email addresses from your own organization" or something. Uh...I don't work for a spamming organization. And these email addresses are just a bunch of random gibberish.

Yes I have been doing this, but the spam emails keep coming in. They are from all different email addresses, so it doesn't really matter if I block one, they keep showing up.

Boy did you hit the nail on the head Jeff!! I'm in the exact same boat... have had MS for as long if not longer and NEVER BEFORE have had this much spam getting through the filters! I think it is a ploy by MS to have people pay. The problem with that ... is I already pay with another email address thru MS so they're not going to get more $$ out of me! I also pay for their 365 thru my business... so where does one draw the line?! If they don't get their act together... A LOT OF US will "jump the MS ship" ...!

I have 2 outlook accounts and use them for very different reasons yet I get the same spam messages and loads of them. It is really annoying. Definitely something wrong with outlook.
