I am getting about a dozen spam emails every day all telling me that I am about to have my talktalk account closed if I don't click on the link.  Obviously I don't because they are spam.  Personally, I don't have time to search for the appropriate talktalk email address to forward them to and having done that previously I know that it does no stop them coming in.  What I cannot understand is why talktalk cannot filter these out, deal with them at source.  They manage to stop my perfectly legitimate ones sent to a circulation list where everyone has asked me to send them weekly emails so why cannot talktalk simply intercept all those with the key words 'talktalk' and 'account'.  It wouldn't be so bad but I have to keep on top of three devices to delete these spam emails that are filling m inbox.

I would not worry about opening an email. There is an infinitesimal chance of anything going wrong, unless your computer is already full of viruses. The important thing is to be very careful when replying to the email or clicking any links within the email.

Besides, one has to open the email to see what it's about.

Most email clients, including TalkTalk's Webmail, do not show the sender's true email address within the list of received emails. They show only the sender's 'friendly name'. Therefore, one is forced to open the email, to see who it's from.

(EDITED: 13:30 OK. If you use TalkTalk Webmail, you can see the sender's email address, by placing the mouse over the 'friendly name'

But still there is no danger, in opening the email.)

You say 'I came across this help form'. What help form?
