reporting phishing scams

[dot.hawkes]

how many of you are as fed up as i am after reporting these on a daILY BASIS AND yet microsoft are still inable to stop them being sent thru to the junk box? Does microsoft think that offering the chance to report them in the junk box is actually resolving the issue? I egt 3 or 4 a day, sometimes more, Abbey, Nat West, RBS, Nationwide! It isnlt that they arrive, because I know I can report them, it's that after reporting them, i never hear anything! I have now emailed the bosses at microsoft, actually i have addressed the email to Bill gates, is he still alive? What are the chances of him replying in person? Ot of anyone from microsoft actually replying at all?

Don't understand why it concerns microsoft, to be honest.

Linux users and Mac users get them too.

Soz Ethel i dont know enough about things like that to get that those two things are the same as microsoft! I do know that there should be at least some follow up to this, for one thing, i get emails in the junk box that aren't even addressed to me, just to a very similar name! Have you ever known of any of these companies, or whatever they are called, replying to reports?

In alll honesty if a little site like ab cant even reply to direct emails then what chance has a mutli billion dollar company like microsoft got of replying to all the reports?
Its not even practical.As long as it goes in your junk whats the problem?
I use yahoo mail and theyve recently changed and it all goes straight to a spam folder .

Problem i think is all these send this onto your friends and youlll be lucky nonsense emails that list everyones email address .I been told but im no techy that replying to these leaves you open to phishing ,.

I rarely forward them and often just delete them without reading.

I totally ignore and delete anything like that too, they are a waste of time, i am not into fluffy girly daft stuff and never get why they are supposed to be funny/cute! and when the email starts with 'don't break the chain' or similar i dlete it withoiut even opening it

This plagues my spam box too and I have reported sevral times. I also have phoned direct to the banks that the scams are assuming in the hopes that those banks would have more ability to put a stop to it all!

i was told that they are aware of the problem and are dealing with it..... oh now I feel better, seen as I get them more regular now!!!!!
