Is this email from TalkTalk genuine?

JudeC1 — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 13:34:26 GMT

I received an email headed "Notify My TalkTalk- Important update from TalkTalk". Before I put in my details, how do I know this is genuine?

Don't click on anything, @JudeC1.

Report to as phishing, send it to Spam and delete it.

Is moving a particular email to the 'Spam' folder equivalent to reporting the email as Spam, or should it also be reported to phishing@talktalk ?

Thanks,

Bill

Do both.

Also report it here:

But TalkTalk will take some action regarding the spam email, if it is moved to 'Spam' folder?

Do ALL of it, @Billx.

Reporting it to Phishing means a wider note is made of the offending sender address.

Sending it to Spam should help build up recognition of rogue senders to your specific address.

OK, thank you.

Hi JudeC1, never put your details in. We won't ask you to in an email.
