Apr 09, 2021Hi Thank you for your feedback and a lot of work it really helps. There is what is more and more scammers - of course you marked the sender as an attempt to extort because only so it is that you block it and Microsoft has such an email sender in the list = spammer , or is blocked for all Office 365 so it works = but not aware is very much yours

Hi, in this case marking the email as phishing and report ir to Microsoft doesn't help. If I do it, Microsoft may block the sender email address, but the real problem would still be there. The scammers only need a new email address to continue their work, while people will still see their own email address or a legitimate email address as the sender email address. This is the real problem here.
Moreover, in the case of the TV Licensing email, the "From" field has two email address, the scammer's one and my own email address. What would happen if I report that email to Microsoft? Would they block my email address?
By the way, since I updated this case the 9th of April, I have receive two new emails using taking advantage of the same bug.

- AnonymousApr 12, 2021Hi I certainly will not block your address because it will be a detailed report about the sender and it will not be what you see only the sender's IP, etc. and block this sender and from this address nothing will come to you for sure, provided that you have not given your consent in any agreement!

DeletedHi, thanks for replying, but like I said before, the problem is not one scammer email address, the problem is that Outlook has a serious security issue with this bug.
I can block the email addresses of those scammers, that's easy, but it will not fix the problem, that is only a workaround to me, but what about the other millons of Microsft users that are receiving these emails and they are not able to identify the email as phising because the sender email address is legitimate to them? This is not a solution.
By the way, on Monday I got a new scam email using the same bug, and today a new one. Different email addresses. Microsoft needs to fix this ASAP!!!!!
- AnonymousApr 13, 2021Hi You are wrong a lot, but Outlook can not block for no reason mail to you! If it is not on the block list, or has not been registered as a phishing! ! I see that you are involved and have knowledge about it, so it is best to contact Office 365 support of which Outlook is a part and there present copies of information that will reach directly to the Office 365 Team are great people surely your application will take seriously you can also attach a link to this thread in the MTC which will be part of the information! Thank you
