Additional tips

• Be cautious when clicking on links or opening attachments from unknown senders, as they may be phishing attempts.
• Report suspicious emails to Hotmail's abuse department by clicking on the "Report spam" button at the top of the email.
• Consider using a different email provider that has stronger spam filtering capabilities, such as Outlook.com or Gmail.

Remember that no spam filter is 100% effective, so it's essential to stay vigilant and report any suspicious emails to help improve the filtering process.
