  • My btinternet account is awful for spam at the minute and most land in my inbox. Am reporting every one as spam and blocking the sender. Trouble is emails I want and those I have added to my contacts (mainly freepostcode lottery) are going to spam box despite always moving to inbox and them being listed on my contacts.

  • 1.Open Gmail.
    2.Select the message you'd like to report.
    3.In the toolbar above your emails, click the spam button Report spam icon. If you have the message open, you can also report it as spam by using the same button.

    Remember, every time you report spam or phishing, it helps us identify those emails as spam for you in the future.

    Thank you very much - I will have a look at the link. They are all going straight to the spam folder but I wish I could stop them coming through at all so I will report them too.
  • In the last couple of weeks I seem to be getting a lot more "Doorstop Loans", "Logbook loans", "homecredit" type spam, not sure where they're coming from.

    I'm also getting a lot of

    "Iphone has a surprise for you"
    "just Eat has a surprise for you"
    "Argos has a surprise for you"

    Moreso than the usual spam I get.

    i'm getting these and morrisons etc. But its not on my comping account, its on the one i use for banking and internet shopping and anything thats not comping related. its driving me mad :mad:
  • I have the same problem. They seem to be generated in America, Almecurque. I have tried unsubscribe which works for the individual companies but there seems to be a central source. I don't think supersavvyme is to blame as I subscribed to them long before I had the problem. It seems to be one site passing my details onto lots of other companies.

    It sounds like the same thing as me - I am getting up to 10 at a time. I have unsubscribed to those that I can but some have links that don't work and others won't display the unsubscribe link has I am not allowed to fully open the email. Some are definitely really dodgy but others are for real, slightly more genuine companies.

    I just wish I know which company/comp it originated from.
  • Mine seem to be for loan companies, car insurance and the like. They are genuine companies but for things I am not interested in. I expect newsletters after I enter a competition and don't mind those.
  • Ooohhh new one this morning :

    "RYAINAIR has Surprise for you" ... they can't even spell Ryanair
