Spam email in outlook

48 replies

Hi,

I've always had spam appear in my junk mail. No problem, I just ignore it.

However, recently, my outlook account is been hit by loads of spam. I've just been offered a penis enlargement. How can the spam stop/ go away?

Same here it is making it practically unusable.

You are not alone. Me and DH are also being bombarded. Either their filters are failing or our email addresses have been sold/shared/compromised...

I suspect they have been sold on.

It's been building up for a while but the last few days it's been really bad, culminating today when I've had 7 in a hour 😡

I wish I knew how to stop it.

Same here in my personal account and the one I have for my business PayPal! The last 3 days or so it's been unreal amounts of spam in the main inbox.

I have just noticed this today too! Iv had about 30+ drop through today? And I never give out my work email 🤬

User174863988 · 20/02/2023 18:21

I saw it somewhere in the news today about this.

Notonthestairs · 20/02/2023 18:22

Same thing happening here.

User174863988 · 20/02/2023 18:23

It's in the Daily Mail in the tech section, I won't link though

Spaghettio · 20/02/2023 18:24

So glad it's not just me!

Walterwhiteswifey · 20/02/2023 18:25

Snap. It's driving me nuts!

Flora73 · 20/02/2023 18:26

I thought it was just me!

User174863988 · 20/02/2023 18:27

It's also on DownDetector

OhhhhhhhhBiscuits · 20/02/2023 18:27

It is a known issue, mostly started today for most people. Microsoft say they are working on it........

pennee · 20/02/2023 18:27

Me too. The last few days has been insane how much I've had but moreso in the inbox not junk.

Roominmyhouse · 20/02/2023 18:29

Yeah all the stuff that used to go into my junk is all of a sudden going into my main inbox. So annoying!

Wittow · 20/02/2023 18:33

Same here! Glad it's not just me... hopefully they are working on a solution... 🤔🙏

I've checked on Twitter, it seems to be happening to a lot of people.

Also glad this isn’t just me, it’s driving me nuts as they come up as focused emails and I get alerts

thesonicoscillator · 20/02/2023 19:01

Me too, glad it's not just me

TaRaDeBumDeAy · 20/02/2023 19:48

Same happening to me, for the last few days. I also got a notification to say I can buy 1tb of space, so I'm now expecting a notification to say we have to pay for a cleaner inbox.

Xrays · 20/02/2023 19:50

Same here, coming through on my iPhone. So annoying!!

BertHandsome · 20/02/2023 19:55

Oh thanks for this. Noticed this a few days ago. I recently requested more information from an online learning platform and thought it had something to do with them.

claireb7rg · 20/02/2023 20:07

Glad it's not just me, it's been all day and yesterday, spam going into my inbox and for the last few months emails I want (inncluding from my family) going into my junk box 🤬 it's getting very frustrating

Pearfacebananapoop · 20/02/2023 20:23

Me too today!
How are people
Solving?

AllWorkYoPlait · 20/02/2023 20:23

One thing's for sure, my penis will be huge by the end of this saga 😂
