Hi, thank you for the information. I don't see any direct form I can fill with all the information I gathered, so I will follow the recommendation of the third link and simply report the emails from Outlook, as usual. Hopefully they will fix this in the next 10 years when a lot of people has been scammed.

    I have the same bug. It's outrageous that it's not possible to just show the real email of the senders. Do you have thought of all the peoples scammed like this ? It's simple, we want the name only four our contact. If the mail is not from our contact, just display the address. It's not thinkable that you don't fix it in more than 2 years.

    Hi charismatic100 

    Thank you for being with us again!

    if it is an address that has been associated with the services, or is part of 2MFA, it is worth changing this address to another, check whether the security services have changed to a new address, and this just needs to be removed, of course I would do so, it is not worth fixing it a waste of time.

    Please read this article, it is worth sending suspicious emails for check:

    Fast forward to December 2022. The issue still exists and now the spammers/scammers/phishers who are sending hidden sender email address emails have also disabled the sweep function of their emails. Sweep function is available on legitimate emails, not the new wave of hidden sender email address scam emails.
