I think I get a mail from "McAfee virus scan" every f.. day, every time I'm reporting it as phishing. But they are still coming. Why is it so difficult for Microsoft to stop these mails? It's driving me crazy and with a little bit of AI this it would be easy to fix. I just don't get it. Would not even need AI for this! Using Outlook app on Android and Hotmail in web browser.

The phishing email I received came to my yahoo.com email. How do I forward it to you?

Thank you. Obviously I expressed myself badly, but my meaning was clear. Of course It was a scam; my principal concern was whether the lockout was genuine - if it had been, I would already have been in deep trouble, so I am relieved to know that it is not.

How do I directly report phishing or suspicous emails to Microsoft?
