Outlook: Report Phishing or Spam

This guide will show you how to report email as Phishing or Spam, and do so safely.

Method 1: Outlook Plugin

Every employee should have access to this method, which is also available in Outlook Web and Outlook Mobile. This method may not work on Shared Mailboxes; however, you can use method two regardless of the mailbox or application.

Click on the email message that you want to report
Click the Phish Alert Report button from your Outlook Ribbon
Select an option that best fits the report classification.

Phishing/Suspicious = Potentially Malicious message
Spam = Unwanted message
Unkown = You are unsure and would like IT to review the message
Click the Phish Alert button to submit
Click OK to acknowlege the notification that the message was reported

Thats it! If IT requires anything else, they will follow up with you after reviewing the reported message.

Method 2: Forward to Phishing Collection Email

This option can be performed from any application or mailbox.

1. Forward the suspect message to phishing@hpgbrands.com.

Thats it! If IT requires anything else, they will follow up with you after reviewing the reported message.
