Why do you think you are being scammed?
Can you, please, give me some more details on that issue?

My bank has advised me of suspicious activity and declined suspicious transactions and Apple alerted me that someone was trying to access my account. He’s asked me for money but I declined. I’ve been flooded with unsubscribed emails since which I’ve deleted and I’ve spoken to the plice

You want to delete the Outlook account, correct?
If you do that, you will not be able to use it, to my regret.

If you close your Outlook account, you will have to create a new one. You use *****@outlook.com to log in to your Microsoft account, correct?

I read the conditions and can’t risk losing all my photos and downloads. How can I block him from the account?

1. In Outlook, click on an email from the sender you want to block.
2. Click on the arrow next to "Junk."
3. Click on "Block."
4. Click "OK" on the pop-up box that appears.
