@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??

@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.

@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.
