Report spam directly from Outlook

Earlier this week, caregivers were sent the email above soliciting tax information. Do not answer this email, please report spam via Outlook. See the directions below for more information.

Reporting potential phishing emails is easy! Caregivers can now report spam via a new icon in the Outlook ribbon. When a suspicious email is received, simply click on the icon. No more attaching the suspicious email to another email and forwarding to spam@providence.org. The new icon does that for you.

When you click on the icon, a pop-up box will ask if you want to report the email to the PSJH cyber defense team. Simply click OK. The email will be forwarded and deleted from your Inbox. There will be a copy of the forwarded email in your Sent Items folder.

If you have any questions, or don’t have the new icon added by Nov. 21, please contact InformationSecurity@Providence.org.
