Genuine looking Pishing Emails - Office 365 not blocking

Question

Thank you in advance.

Dear Support team, I am receiving phishing emails in my office 365 exchange emails with the mail originating from a Gmail id but they use our employee names in the display name.

Users get confused by seeing the display name and responding. How to prevent/block this kind of email?
