Spam And Phishing Emails

[tiggerblue10]

In the last week or so I've been getting loads of dodgy emails in my Inbox. Emails like this would usually go straight to junk but now they're popping up in the 'focused' part of my inbox. Whenever I try to block the sender I get a message saying 'you can't block an email address from your own organisation'. What does that mean?

I would guess it means the spammer is using your own e-mail address to send you stuff. But that is just a guess, maybe you can check ?

How do you check that? There's no spam stuff in my sent items.

Look at the headers to see if there making it look like they come from you

Ok, next time I get one I'll check the email address. I've reported them as phishing but not sure what happens once reported.

You have to go into the detailed message details

I never open them.
