When phishing scams are reported to Outlook what happens to them?

I reported two phishing scams to Outlook by clicking on the drop down "report phishing scam" in the Outlook mail app. Where does the phish e-mail go and is it reported to the genuine company, in this case a bank? Also, why can't a suspicious e-mail be forwarded to a reporting agency without opening it and exposing my computer and possibly my contact list to the bad guys?

Live Mail – how do I report a Phishing Scam?

I am thankful that HOTMAIL still exists. Windows Live Mail doesn't seem to have a capability for reporting Phishing Scams. I don't know what you do with these often stupidly-constructed attempted frauds in HOTMAIL when we label them and they vanish, but it's comforting to know that less cognisant "Dear Beneficiary" or "Congratulations, you've won the Lottery" recipients might be protected from sending their personal details to these evil liars.

If it's a known company, I always try to alert them. My own bank insists on messages pretending to come from it being copied or Forwarded to their security website [and somehow, the scammers cloned one of this bank's actual web security addresses!].

As to Live, am I missing something? All the Web Help is for HOTMAIL.

sackunite.com & rodcling.com send me spam mssages every day. I have marked them as spam, as junk, as phishing scams but every day they are back what can I do?

Every day I get messages originating from sackunite.com rodcling.com. These are spam at the very least, some of them are phishing type messages, also maybe pornography. Everytime they appear, I block the sender, report them as junk, as phishing scams, what ever I can think of. When you block messages, a smug not comes up saying thes sender is now blocked that no further messages can be received. This is NOT true. I just get more rubbish from them. Can I do anything to stop them sending me this ****?
