@toddben, it's worth popping your email address into the site here, to check whether it's ever been harvested:

My Talktalk.net and Gmail come up clean. I very rarely get spam / scam messages in these.
I get frequent phishing stuff in my Hotmail account because there was a massive breach in 2017. Same with Yahoo. That address shows up as harvested when I check it in the linked page I posted above.
You can change your password loads of times, but it doesn't stop the address being targeted with rubbish and occasionally being spoofed.
Hotmail / Outlook usually sends them correctly to spam but does let them in. It does sometimes drop the ball and they slip into my inbox.
In an ideal world, Outlook would catch them every time and must know that these are scammers because many use the same formulae.
If it's obvious to me it must be obvious to Outlook...
So, just saying it's worth checking whether the Tiscali addresses have been harvested.
If so, you will find these addresses bombarded and, even though, yes, we would like to see Talktalk doing a better job at stopping the dodgy emails getting in, even Microsoft with all its trillions can't stop all phishing scams slipping through.
Forum staff are back on here during the week to respond.
