Spam Bomb

jacthehat — Fri, 08 Nov 2024 20:17:02 GMT

In the last hour, I have received over 700 emails from a variety of addresses.

They offer me subscriptions, thank me for subscriptions, offer me password resets, offer all sorts of product and tech support. Many are in a variety of foreign alphabets.

I am deleting as soon as they land but I'll have to go to bed at some point and then goodness only knows what will happen whilst I am asleep!

Can anyone tell me how to staunch this flow of unwanted emails?

Thanks.

Hi jacthehat, it sounds like your mail address has arrived in a spammers lists. Mark the emails as spam to help our system filter them out. If they have key words that you don't normally receive emails about use the filters in webmail to move them from your inbox. Absolutely don't unsubscribe from them and don't reply to them.

How would I mark the emails as spam?

Is it simply by moving them to the scam folder or something else?

Does the procedure need to be done in TalkTalk Webmail?
