Scam emails

dougaldo — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 16:16:12 GMT

I am being bombarded (10/20 per day)with scam emails, all from similar but different email addresses. I presume they have my email address from the hack some years ago. I block and forward them to talktalk, but they still keep appearing. Am I the only one?

No, you are not alone.

Rather than block them, you might like to try creating a rule that will move them directly to spam, especially if there are similarities in the addresses or subject.

For example, I have a few rules set, one where the subject contains slimming and set to send to Junk.

You will find more information on how to do this in your email program help topics.
