    It is unfortunate that Microsoft are going to do nothing about this or any other issues regarding scams and junk. There are a few people on the community site that try provide some information and support, but absolutely no response from Microsoft and this specific thread has been going since 2021 with almost 600 submissions. There are several other similar and junk related questions that have been going for more than 10 years now.

    I know this is Microsoft community where the community can ask questions and people with experience or knowledge can help. However, is there anybody out there that can tell us why Microsoft ignore the issues we have with (obvious) scams and junk mail? I was able to contact them directly via email a few years ago, however I just got standard computer "cut and paste" responses for a while (some contradicting information provided on their own website, some sending you to FAQ that does not have an answer to the question and some completely unrelated to my issue). Then it just stopped, never to be heard from again and the email link has been removed from their site.

    Microsoft (many years ago) also replied to some issues on the community site, but they seem to have stopped that as well.

    I get over a hundred junk emails dumped into my Junk mail every day for years. Please don't tell me that shows that the system is "working", that is nonsense and then if it's "working", who designed the **** system? it's a system that nobody wants ..... you can't report them and you can't block them And finally please don't tell me it is because I have been providing my email address to "suspicious sites" because I haven't. That's a line Microsoft uses hoping you will back off.

    Anybody know what's going on?

    I've received several emails showing SUCCESSFUL logins from Russia recently including today. However, there are no successful login attempts shown in my account's recent activity log except from me. Hovering over the "Report this User" link shows the following email address: ******@espaccessacc.com

    This seems more than suspicious to me so I'm reporting it as a phishing attempt.

    I"ve had two recently.

    also went to the recent activity bit, and a lot of failed attempts from all over, but none from spain/madrid. hovering over "report the user" brings up habalina7@xxx****. both times were automatically marked as high importance, and with the sender being no-reply@microsoft.com
