Microsoft Support provides the following information for reporting Phishing or suspicious behavior:

  1. In the message list, select the message or messages you want to report.
  2. Above the reading pane, select Junk > Phishing > Report to report the message sender. A screenshot of the Junk button in Outlook.com.

I do not show that on my Outlook page when I have a phishing mail to report. Is it something I need to load? All I have is to put the message in Junk.

Outlook | Windows | Classic Outlook for Windows | For business

    I received an email from my own ID asking me to transfer money to his BitCoin wallet. I strongly believe that it is a scam email... When I tried to report it to Microsoft from Outlook, I was not able to since it's my own email ID... need help or guideline on what to do next.

    I have not only received suspicious emails, which I reported to support, but on looking at my MS account, someone in another country is repeatedly attempting to sign into my account. For some reason, MS won't let me insert the image here.

    The same happened to me just end of March. But I didn’t see the email until start of this month, as it’s in junk and I rarely open the email account on laptop. And I also tried to look into the activity but doesn’t seem to show any successful sign in except a lot of unsuccessful attempts from another country (which by the way is not me). And I tried to report the phishing but it wouldn’t get through since it’s my own email ID. And I can’t seem to find any email ID to get in touch with Microsoft

    Here is the image. Just a portion of the sign-in attempts. I keep changing my password, but shouldn't MS be aware of this threat?
