Windows 10: Email addresses to report Spam from Main Email providers etc needed?

Is there such a list - to save me searching each time.

I know some of them - such as

[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

But to save searching them out everytime - is there a list that can be quickly accessed please?

Right now I need the one for @Gmail.com

and also for @Sky.com

Note ; personally I always forward suspicious stuff to the Action Fraud people in the UK, where I am - I presume that they investigate some. Their address is

[email protected]

Thank you.

:)

 

Spam from my sisters email

True - although, more than a few emails would seem a little suspicous, rather than just a generated or "logged" email address.


As well - it's quite possible the email isn't coming directly from her account. Some email providers allow one to send email, but use a different "from" address (i.e. gmail) - for example, your primary email address is L: someone@someplace.com, when you send a message it would appear to come from L: someone@noplace.com . . .

It wouldn't surprise me, either, that if your sister had registered on a site, that they could be selling off email addresses - sometimes those really shady purchasers of these email lists will use some of these addresses to "mask" where the emails are actually coming from.

Follow the suggestions tha have already been posted, first - defi change the password. Run a good A/V program, and check your rig over for any other malware. Do a good manual cleaning of internet files, too, both cookies, temp files, and any other tripe that ends up in your temp folders. Anything that doesn't want to be deleted nice and easy tends to not bode well . . . if the issue still continues, she may have to give some serious thought to closing the account and picking up a new email provider elsewhere.

It's a PITA, for all involved.

Lots Of Daily Spam Emails


Hi:

Yep, once the spammers get your email address, you're pretty much guaranteed to get more and more spam (as they sell their addresses to other spammers). It's hard to stop the process, once it is in full gear.
Alas, as you suggested, the fact that you replied to any of the spams and clicked any links to "unsubscribe" likely means that you have, indeed, verified your email address for the spammers.
So that may have only made matters worse.
Obvious spam messages are best deleted without previewing them, without opening them, without clicking on any links and certainly without opening any attachments.

As a general rule, it's dangerous to click ANY link in ANY email (even from a "known", "safe" sender whose emails may be spoofed or hijacked). It's also dangerous even to "preview" emails (in html vs. plain text), as the html message could itself be malicious, even without a malicious attachment.

As @dalchina mentioned, we do not know what email client you're using (Outlook, Thunderbird, another 3rd-party program, etc.). Most have some sort of anti-spam features, as do many internet security suites.
A 3rd-party anti-spam program may be of some benefit, although it may not stop the problem 100%.
In addition to the suggestions already offered, Mailwasher Pro (Free or Paid) allows one to safely preview messages while they are still on the server. Spam can be both reported and deleted before it gets to your local email client. It affords an extra layer of safety/security.
And certain 3rd-party anti-exploit programs, such as Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Premium (MBAE Premium) and HitmanPro Alert (HMPA) can help to shield your email client from exploits delivering malware via email.

And, yes, most major companies and ISPs and webmail providers do offer a means to report fraud/spam. If you're being truly bombarded, that process may be a bit laborious, but it would not hurt.

No software product, however, can protect 100% of computers from 100% of malware 100% of the time.
Ultimately, the user is the first and last line of computer defense by practicing safe computing practices.

Cheers,
MM
