I wonder is sometimes hotmail doesn't have something to do with some of the spam emails themselves. But just block the email address. That should take care of it.What does Reporting a Phishing Sceme on hotmail do?
If its advertising, its junk, not phishing.



Anyway, it goes into an electronic database where it records who reported it and information about the email. If enough people report it, someone/something will be notified and something will be done about it.

If they are just trying to sell you something then it is not phishing. It is just spam. Phishing is when they try to trick you into giving them you password and logon info. They do this by giving you some fake reason to log on to your acount with a link that appears to be from a site that you have an account with. When you follow the link the page it will look just like your the logon page that you normally go to but it is not. if you type in your password then you give it to them and they hijack your account,
