Phishing emails

I am receiving a lot of bogus emails on my tiscali email addresses. There can be up to 10 or 12 a day and it's becoming tedious. They are very poor emails (bad spelling etc) offering special offers or prizes for  competitions that I have never entered. Am I right in thinking these are phishing emails and what do I do to stop them? Is the TalkTalk  phishing reporting email address still active?

Thanks

I understand this is actively being looked at.


TalkTalk have requested that spam mail be reported to them. The process though has changed.
How to do this can be found here

Do report them; sometimes attaching the email to send it to the phishing report sites works better than forwarding. 

 

Always make sure you have marked it as Spam in your email account and delete it. Run regular antivirus  / anti malware checks, @NorfolkLad.

 

Our addresses do get harvested (often nothing to do with our provider, but attacks from years back, and across the board, not just email addresses from ISPs but also Hotmail, Yahoo etc).

 

Periodically change your password and never repeat the same password on another site.
