Forwarding Phishing emails

[stephen54]

Hi,

I have received a phishing email and have tried several times to forward it to phishing@talktalk.co.uk.

Every time (no matter what device or browser I use or whether I include external images or not) I get an error message saying the email cannot be sent.

Why is this happening and how can I forward it

Attached is a screen snip of the error message and the sender address.

Any observations/thoughts on this?

OK, thats good to know. Maybe there are players out there who have found ways of circumventing this?

Hi,

The email showed when I tried to forward it to TalkTalk, but I never clicked anywhere in the email.

I’ve scanned my devices and everything seems ok.

I think  I’ll just mark it as spam locally and just delete it.

Thanks everyone for your help. @Gliwmaeden2 @ferguson

I am very concerned at that .lb suffix: Lebanon? I trust you haven't opened the email or clicked on any links in it? If so, I suggest security scans at the earliest opportunity.

Odd. There may be something set up to stop you sending out something they are detecting in the message. 

Perhaps copy the message heading and sende info, and anything that you can send without clicking on any dodgy links.

Try just sending that information on, @stephen54.

Hi,

I’ve just tried that.

I used the email address on that site (phishing@gov.org I think it was) and had the same result.

Does it work if you try sending it to https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/phishing-scams/report-scam-email, @stephen54?

Will be just as effective. Then put it in Spam and delete it.
