What do I do to stop this?

Hi,

It would be futile to setup a message rule to delete this type of message to send it to Junk because these messages will come from numerous senders and will have many different titles.

Advice from:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/outlook/abuse-phishing-junk-email

-- -- -- Report phishing scams, junk email, or unsolicited email

You help thwart spammers when you report phishing scams, junk email, or unsolicited email. Plus, it's easy. In Outlook.com, click the arrow next to Junk and select:

  • Junk for routine unwanted email.

  • Phishing scam for email that is trying to trick you into giving out your personal info (like passwords, bank info, or your Social Security number) or to steal your money.

  • My friend's been hacked if you start getting junk email or phishing from a sender you would normally trust.
