Hi my friends, I really need a support group where we can suffer together 😅

Who else is anxious about the results?

For the past two weeks I've had a weird issue with my Outlook.com account. I keep getting a sextortion/phishing email (the classic "I hacked your webcam" scam, sender spoofed to look like it's coming from my own address). Every time I delete it, it comes back a bit later with a new timestamp. I actually timed it once: deleted the email and it reappeared exactly 15 minutes after. Tried it again and got the same result, so it doesn't seem random, more like something running on a fixed timer. Things

I've already tried, none of which stopped it:

• Changed password multiple times
• 2FA enabled (authenticator app), removed and recreated
• All sessions signed out ("Sign out everywhere")
• No suspicious mail rules (removed all existing rules, no effect)
• Forwarding disabled
• No third-party apps connected
• Recovery methods (email/phone) confirmed correct
• POP and IMAP disabled
• Changed the account alias

Still comes back every time. At this point I'm fairly sure this isn't something I can fix from my end through normal account settings, feels more like something happening on the server side (hidden rule, corrupted mailbox index, something like that). Has anyone run into this before or know how to get this properly investigated on Microsoft's end? Already went through live chat support but honestly wasn't much help.
