    Just to let you know that the consequences of my clicking on the link 'Report This User' was a flood of more phishing emails directly into my inbox - none went into Junk Folder. '**CAMP LEJEUNE - OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION** and 'destiny mastercard*' stand out amongst the repeat offenders. The 'Add to Safe Senders' option in Outlook/Hotmail does not work in my Windows 10 PC ,anymore ,and it as hasn't for many months. I have been unable to find how to fix it. I know (95%!) it is nothing I have done as I never tinker with email settings. As of the last week or so the torrent of phishing emails going straight into my Inbox has slowed down. But I still cannot get safe senders to be recognised.

    FYI - I got a message to my hotmail junkmail this morn that almost exactly matched the one here that was legitimate. Hence I changed password etc. When in my account i noticed abikity to review recent signons. There was no sign on to match or even come close fo matching the one from the alert in my junk mail folder. Btw i had also checked the senders email prior to this via the feature of looking at it.m wo clicking anything of the email itself. It seemed to show a legitimate email no-reply@microsoft.com.

    Hackers are getting advanced to mimick email senders AND these security boards. Beware!

    What was strange about mine was that the date of the email message was the day before the date listed in the message (under the IP address).
