Spam email in outlook

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?

Thanks for this post Op.
I wondered what on earth was going on as I must’ve moved between 30–50 emails to junk today.

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

Whereas I will have enough Curry’s kettles to last me 5 lifetimes!

Pixiedust1234 · 20/02/2023 20:49

oh dear. I was going to get a new email and was seriously considering getting outlook instead of Gmail.

I too will have a large penis, a SMEG kettle, but no Malwarebytes, as that is being CANCELLED with immediate effect.

I just keep winning ninja air fryers

BridieConvert · 20/02/2023 22:21

Mine has been going all day!
Must have reported 30 emails as junk today... probably more!

bruffin · 20/02/2023 23:05

Most of the spam shouldnt even get into junk, let alone our inbox.

TheTurn0fTheScrew · 20/02/2023 23:12

Same! Assumed my address has been sold on/nicked from somewhere as I'm not massively discerning about who I give it to. Interesting that it's a wider problem.

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

Yes started to do this today. Seems to have filtered off a bit this evening but dread to think what my inbox will look like tomorrow if this continues.

RebeccaCloud9 · 20/02/2023 23:25

Ahhhhh me too, I've spent hours today trying to reset my junk filter thinking it was just me!

Mine's back to normal now.

onlythesparrow · 20/02/2023 23:27

Yep same here!

OnceBitten25 · 20/02/2023 23:28

Same here! I wondered what was going on or if I'd inadvertently clicked on a link! Seem to be on the receiving end of lots of prize draws for smeg kettles, airfryers and French Tesco vouchers 😵‍💫

Gawdimold · 20/02/2023 23:29

I’ve been offered Russian ladies in my area. Seemed to be a lot looking for love in my remote area

Mumalli · 20/02/2023 23:30

Same!!

how can we fix it? Or does outlook have to?

Worryfree · 20/02/2023 23:31

Ahh, had this in multiple email addresses today.

Will also have a huge penis by the end of the week!! 💪🏻

thenightsky · 20/02/2023 23:36

I've had this to my hotmail account all day at a rate of around 1 every minute or so. It seems to have stopped about half an hour ago.

PJ04JCW · 20/02/2023 23:42

Oh glad it's a glitch. It was happening all day at work but fewer/none this eve. I was cursing a job website I signed up with last night but on further inspection it is to a different email address.

polkadotpixie · 21/02/2023 00:06

This is happening to my hotmail too, quite glad to hear it's an issue as I assumed my email had been sold to a dodgy spammer!

FredaFox · 21/02/2023 00:10

It's been happening for a week or so but noticeably the past few fats. I'm just blocking them
But doubt it makes a difference

Clymene · 21/02/2023 00:21

And they're all in Florida. Every Tesco and curry's and ninja air fryer.

I've had a steady trickle of spam for goodness knows how long, but I assume it must originate from the same sender, as they supposedly come from lots of different companies, but they always tell me that I've won (or could win) 'an' something that doesn't start with a vowel: 'an Curry's kettle'; 'an Smeg fridge', 'an Phillips air fryer' etc.

As well as lots of threatening warnings purporting to come from McAfee - about my antivirus protection 'subscription expiry' - whom I've not used for at least 20 years.

threeplusmum · 21/02/2023 00:28

Lol this is happening to me too, thought I was the only one - this thread has given me and my partner a good chuckle tho!

bruffin · 28/02/2023 14:06

It has started happening again today!
