Did you just suggest users click on a link in an email from an unknown source.
You realize these are unsolicited emails and any link could potentially have viruses and Trojans, mallard ect.
Please do not click on links in emails that you can't validate the sender.
Whoever is sending these emails are smarter then Microsoft because for some reason you can't block them in outlook.
Please go back a reread my posts in this thread. As an IT Professional, I would not instruct users to click on an unknown link. I provided a direct link to Best Buy's website and included an image for clarity.
Here is another response I wrote about spam, and I have produced several videos about this topic.

In this case, Best Buy is a victim here. Someone is using their trademarked name and spamming on their behalf. Reporting it to Best Buy is useless because they can't do anything about e-mail not going through their services. It's really in Microsoft's court to improve their spam filter. Most of the spam is coming from one domain so it ought to be easy enough to blacklist. It certainly would reduce overhead! As far as the end user the best way to block this would be the e-mail header rule I previously mentioned. It really isn't hard to set up and it will work.

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/outlook/excessive-spam-junk-mail-from-quot-geeksquad-quot-email-address/m-p/3687452/highlight/true#M14099
And this stopped ALL emails from this address. From the day I did this, I have not seen 1 email from them, they are deleted before they even get to my spam folder.
Best Buy is a victim here but, here is the truth, I order from Best Buy time to time, even with the block I do, I get all my emails from Best Buy,
It's a popular email, so it gets spoofed. And they spam the hell out of everyone.
It was by far the WORST spammer I have seen. I was getting like 30-60 a day at one point.

"Please don't give other users the wrong impression about my professional guidance."
Please explain?
"I provided a direct link to Best Buy's website and included an image for clarity."
Why as a professional did you add a third-party link if users previously confirmed that it does not work?
