Reporting Suspicious Emails to IT

Overview

If you receive an email that looks suspicious, report it to IT immediately using the Report Phishing Email button in Outlook. Do not click any links or open attachments first.

For guidance on how to spot a phishing email, see: Recognising and Reporting Phishing Emails

Outlook Desktop (Windows)

1. Select the suspicious email in your inbox
2. In the ribbon at the top, click the Report Phishing Email button
   • If you cannot see it, click the ... (more options) button in the ribbon to find it
3. A confirmation dialog will appear — click Report
4. The email will be forwarded to IT and removed from your inbox

Outlook on the Web (Browser)

If You Cannot Find the Report Button
