SCAM E-MAILS

Nothing new, but have had 3 in just the last week.  Similar, but alike, in that they 'advise' that my subscription to XYZ (never heard of any of them) is about to expire that that I must renew in order to keep my benefits.  Click here to confirm your credit card details......

All seemed to be of foreign origin, so just marked them as spam and moved on.

However, this morning's effort did make me laugh - when I hovered over the sender's e-mail,  the full address showed as "decemberthieves.com".  At least they are partly honest!

I get these all the time, usually my anti-virus software is set to expire, click HERE to renew, etc. One thing to note just in case you don't already know is never to reply to one of these with your request to opt-out of any future comms, etc. All that does is to validate your email address to be included in the database these spammers use and subsequently sold on to the next bunch of scammers and on it goes.....

Yes, we're aware thanks.  Sad thing is that people must fall for these, or they wouldn't bother.

Have been bombarded with them over the last month, 20 or so overnight plus the same during the day, but has now dropped off to the usual couple a day.

Always 
• forward the phishing email to

’report@phishing.gov.uk’
• block the domain if you can (not gmail.com or similar)
• block the sender

Shane the blocking sender or keywords doesn't apply to junk mail, I get about 30 a day, I empty daily to check in case genuine emails.
