@marcd86 @Outlook @marcjacobs88 Exactly! Why do these companies never be transparent about the problem and post that they are working on it. Why constantly ask people to do a task instead if admit there is a problem??

@Outlook You guys have got to acknowledge this spam issue, when it will be fixed and if you will be searching INBOX to remove them so we don't have to spend all day reporting the ones getting thru. Getting at least 20 every hour or 2 this morning.

@Justbeing_Lou_x @K_Lighty @Outlook Keep reporting all the spam and Phishing. It gives me great pleasure to think that I am overloading Microsoft with problems when I report them. Probably over 100 since I woke up.

@kbratt1509 @Outlook Yes, it is their issue. From the news articles I looked, they are reporting it is a random thing. Nope, NO, No way random. Nothing at all is going to the Junk Mail folder.
