    How to report a phishing email from an Outloook account to Microsoft


    Hi, I am getting phishing emails from Outlook addresses. However, these are not received at an Outlook address, since I have email at my own domain. These phishing emails are *FROM* an Outlook address.Therefore, I cannot use the technique to use the option within Outlook to report the email. Because I don't have Outlook. How can I, who does not have Outlook, report to Microsoft a phishing email that is *from* an Outlook address?For example, Google provides this page for *anyone* to report a phishing email from a Google address:https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/Does

    While there are legitimate emails from the Microsoft account team,
    email phishing scams using the Microsoft name
    are very common so you have to be very careful. A
    legitimate email address domain from Microsoft is @accountprotection.microsoft.com.


    This is an example of an older scam:
    Ask Leo: Is Windows Live Hotmail about to close my account?

  3. How to Report Fraudulent "Microsoft Account Team" Phishing Email in Mail App

    Thanks for suggestion, JaspreetSingh08. While this link contains much useful information, I do not see how your suggestion directly addressed the question of how to report a phish (that purports to be from Microsoft) via the Win10 Mail app. The closest that I found via the link is this generic suggestion related to office365 that presumably includes the Win10 Mail app under "other":

    If you're using an email client other than Outlook, start a new email to *** Email address is removed for privacy *** and include the phishing email as an attachment. Please don't forward the suspicious email; we need to receive it as an attachment so we can examine the headers on the message.

    Given that the Mail app is still(!) not very good, there may not be a better answer.
