Every mail subscription scam?

Amhrav — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 09:15:30 GMT

I’ve received this email. Assume it is a scam. How did this get through every mail scam filter?

I get one of these at least once a month, @Amhrav.

If you hover over the sender's name you will probably find it's from someone completely different and even that may be a spoofed / harvested address.

It's scammers targeting the vulnerability of people affected by the switch to Everymail for former Talktalk customers so deal with it as you would any phishing scam email.

@Amhrav,

Mine also turn up in my main Talktalk box, not Spam.

So I send it to Spam and report it as phishing - so far it's obviously not made a blind bit of difference, sadly.

And the salutation is a dead giveaway it's spam.

Unless you make costumes, that is.

I think the point is, @fr8ys, why do Talktalk's spam filters allow this into the main inbox?

Persistently.

No matter how much we report it.

"Dear value customer"

"Talk-Talk" is similar enough to dupe some, hopefully not most!

They have stopped presenting the sender as "Every Mail" so unfortunately something from "Everymail Team" might result in someone clicking without thinking.

People are tired or whatever. That's when mistakes happen.

@Amhrav, next time I get one, I'll go via the Complaints procedure because I do agree that the spam filters should be far better than this.

They will never catch all and mails always seen to be from a different domain from the last one, so difficult to stop especially as headings etc change to and may result in legitimate mails then going to spam.

It's a catch 22 situation. Damned if you do damned if you don't. Someone will either miss a mail or get caught by spam.
