Spam

Hi,

i have had a tiscali e mail address for a long time with little problems from Spam. But this last week i am getting 3 or 4 a day. They appear to come from different organisations (last one Norton anti virus), but on resting mouse on the sender it always starts with my own e mail name then the @ varies in every mail but is always ended with .ms

Can Talktalk filter out these messages as i am sure others must be receiving them. Is there anything i can do myself? I have tried blocking the domain name but this varied in every mail so is ineffective.

Grateful for any help

John

Couple more of these spam already today, always tells me a subscription is expiring or there is a special offer and asks me to "click" on a link (which i dont). The mail address starts with my own e mail name then @bqvqp.ms. The part in bold changes every time but always ends .ms.

Can these be blocked ?

Hi jawatto, the filters are constantly in play and block millions of mails per day. If these keep getting through mark them as spam and if they're consistently .ms add that as a filter in TalkTalk webmail.
