I have set up a filter to block scammers but those african scammer seems to know how to get around it and keep fulling my inbox with their scam and i have to suffer for them, hotmail should find a way to block those african scammers from flooding users e-mail and now I have to verify my account , what can I do about that

Want to know if Microsoft sends out "security notices" directly to consumers.  If so, how can we be sure it is from them and not some scammer.

Also want to know how to remove it when one has a security issue (actually several) with Microsoft and various other companies.

How can I be sure that it is being corrected.  I have several issues to cover and really do not want to send an email to the world.   If Microsoft

hears about this, as I feel they should be aware of it all, I think they should be interested at least

Thank you for any help you can provide.

I suspect this sender is a phisher/scammer. It is offering me job opportunities and I did not go to it to ask for information. It also responded to one of my Craig's List ads with wrong data as to the content of my ad. I was selling musical equipment & it wanted to buy my furniture- this is where it got my email address.

Thank you to anyone who is able to direct me on how to block this sender!

I got an email from (Removed PII) asking me to update my info including birthdate, etc.  I did not reply.
Why/how did I get this message?
