Huge increase in phishing/scam emails?

2 replies

What can I do?

Essentially over the last week I have been getting 40+ emails into my inbox (not being filtered out by the junk filter) either confirming my order of a Smeg kettle, to rearrange a UPS delivery etc

I understand this means my email address has been sold or found its way onto the darkweb or some other such annoyance but how can I stop it?

I've been reporting every single one as phishing/spam but they still keep on coming.

Check on haveibeenpwned.

8 breaches apparently... But it said that the last time I was on that website a couple of years ago. I'm just bored of deleting dozens of emails a day.
