    If the Outlook.com account is being used for impersonation, phishing, or other suspicious activity, report it through Microsoft’s scam or abuse reporting channels.

    If a Microsoft account may also have been compromised, use the Microsoft account recovery flow:

    1. Start the sign-in helper: Start
    2. Before changing the password, run a full antivirus scan on the PC:
      • Open Windows Security
      • Go to Virus and threat protection
      • Select Scan options > Full scan > Scan now
    3. Change the password if sign-in still works, or reset it if sign-in fails.
    4. Review account settings that attackers often change, especially connected accounts, forwarding, and automatic replies.
    5. Check recent sign-in activity on the recent activity page to see when and where the account was accessed.

    If the issue is specifically a fake Outlook.com address pretending to be someone else, Microsoft Q&A guidance in the provided material points to reporting it here:
