If they’re dodgy things, maybe remove the links from here?

Phishing emails… I must get about 50 a day… the joys of having a “catch all” on domain name emails…

6

Good point BigSV, links removed.

7

Wolfeyes, could you please do the same? Ta.

I’m sure Smile have a fraud/security/whatever it’s called department. If you felt particularly civil-minded you could forward them the e-mail. That, or just delete it and forget about its existence.

Yeah good idea Done!

I’ve had loads of these, claining to be from Lloyds, Natwest, Abby etc. I have a folder in my hotmail account especially for them. Is there anywhere I can send them to report them?

10

I regularly get them from Paypal but obviously not really them - they have a fraud dept to forward them to - then they deal with it and email you back to thank you. Not sure if other companies do this tho’

11

just for the record…this is nawt to do with me!!!
