das Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Lately the amount of garbage coming into my mail box is really ****** me off! I get the usual gamblig, get debt free, how to live forever and hot sex with fabulous Asian girls plus other rubbish. Does anyone else suffer from this and any method of getting rid of it would be appreciated. Also my delete key is wearing out. Thanks. :unhappy: :unhappy: :unhappy: PS I'm on Outlook.

If you get your phone service from BT - get "BT Call Protect" free and works quite well. http://home.bt.com/tech-gadgets/phones-tablets/bt-call-protect-why-bts-free-service-can-help-you-banish-nuisance-calls-11364136279611 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Geordie Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 My ex had a domain website set up by her son, each email would be sent with the name of company she dealt with. So it would be ***@***argos.net then if a spam email came through to that email address she knew Argos sold on her details etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Buy a phone that has "call guardian" - less than £30 on the Bay and stops 99% of nuisance callers - I peed off an Indian "Microsoft Engineer" about a year ago and he went mad, promised to call me day and night from then on and he did - call Guardian stops 10-15 calls from him everyday.

It has blocked 212 spam calls so far this month on my line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) Yes, I have to say this seems to work very well. It has blocked 212 spam calls so far this month on my line. I have been very happy with it - a few 'get around' somehow - and I just add them to the 'blacklist', but I now get about one through a week or less as opposed to more than one a day before. I would definitely recommend it. I believe TalkTalk have a similar service, not sure about other landline providers.
