Dear ChristyH ,
I am an independent advisor, and I am trying to help other users in Community with my experience in Microsoft products.
You are absolutely correct - this is a spam email. Please report it and block the sender, before blocking please check the message source.
I understand that this is frustrating to receive lots of spam and unwanted emails. It is even more frustrating to receive scams, spoofing and phishing emails. Scammers nowadays are using multiple methods to intimidate users.
Please note that Postmaster (

For example, we've implemented a number of mechanisms to reduce the burden of junk email which currently prevents nearly 4.5 billion email messages from reaching Outlook.com users every day!
There are couple of ways to deal with scammers and unwanted emails and improve how your anty filter will work (I am sure that you are aware of some and you are using them, but maybe additional information in support articles will help you):
1. First of all check your spam filters and see suggestions on how to keep spam out of your inbox

5. Nowadays some scammers have learned how to mask their emails addresses that you can see in the emails. However, in the message source you will find the real one (and the real domain) In order to view message source please check this article
