Is it just me, or has there been a significant increase in the number of
fraudulent phishing type scams on the Hotmail service bulk email folder?
dUh...when are they going to do something about it?! I usually would submit
these to abuse@hotmail.com or whichever mail service I am using at the time.
At Hotmail the complaint gets the auto-response of no action taken. It is
almost as if by elimination they are looking for who we don't have an
account with...

The OP reported that the ncreased activity is observed in the Bulk Email
folder. That means the filters are doing decent job - otherwise spam would
end up in the inbox.

True, but OP could create filters such that none of these messages would end
up in Bulk/Junk Mail folder to begin with.
