Phishing emails regarding Talk Talk and McAfee

JillyB — Wed, 05 Jun 2024 18:44:14 GMT

Over the last 48 hours I've received three phishing emails purporting to be from Talk Talk regarding my McAfee subscription ending. I don't use McAfee anyway, and the whole content was very suspicious, including spelling mistakes. I've reported it to Talk Talk. I've tried to attach a screenshot, but the message wouldn't send.

To attach a screenshot in the thread upload it via the camera icon or this tool in the message box, @JillyB.

Also, mark them all as SPAM, report them all as phishing, and delete them completely.

Ah thank you. I didn't know how to insert a screenshot.

Yes I reported to Talk Talk via the phishing email address.

Thanks again,

Jill
