Hi all, I have 2 email addresses the first one went out of use when it was unindated with spam, I get less spam now so I give it out to anyone I am not sure about (both companies & people), the newer one made when the first one started getting bogged down I only give to rusted companies (Banks, water supply etc) and family, no one has both email addresses.

This morning I received my first phishing emails one to either address, the senders name is different but the text is identical. 

I have reported both as phishing. 

 

Strange.

I'll bet that they got your address from a contact's address book.

Hi Ady, the old email address has, but not the newer one?

Hi Ady, never heard of it but will have a look, I have checked that I have nothing on my Pc as routine, so that will be the next thing I will do. 

Thanks for getting back to me.

Hi LUDDITE, have you checked them both in HaveIbeenPwned to see if they're out there being passed around?
