All you can do with spam is keep using the mark tool. for phishing scams report them as advised in the help article below. TalkTalk are aware that their are some issues at the moment.

You may not be aware but at the moment I am unable to send spam emails to either the government's spam address or TTs for some reason.

Phishing emails and spam seem to be becoming something of a problem at the moment.

My email account is becoming impossible to use.

Emails only half presented and when I try scrolling down jumps to the bottom of the page. And only one email listed at a time.

Absolute rubbish compared wih my Yahoo and Mail.com accounts.

Hi whistleblower, does the same happen when using a mail client like Thunderbird? The spam obviously will continue until TalkTalk manage to block it.

"unable to send spam emails to either the government's spam address or TTs for some reason."

I've had this. The attempted posts are refused.

You can send by saving the offending email as a file then posting it as a attachment to those addresses.

My persistent spammer stopped spamming me but now spams are getting through again and when I mark them as spam I am getting "this is a newsletter are you sure you want to mark it as spam ?" Have te spammers found a loophole ?

Still getting daily phishing attempts from presumably same source who have an endless supply of emal addresses and email headers to lure me to clicking onto their link !

As well as 'Marking it as Spam', you can also 'Add Sender to Blocklist', within webmail

How many spammers do you have? Are they all different now?

With regard to the question, answer, yes, you are sure.

Is it TalkTalk Web Mail asking that question?
