In the last 45 minutes I have had about 450 spam emails land in my personal email inbox.

Various languages - Password Reset requests - Registration requirements - Enquiry thank yous......all sorts.

How on earth do I deal with this?

My address is "[email protected]" if that helps.

Thanks

If the sender has an unusual email domain such as @idiot.cr I block the domain.

Don't do it with legitimate domains though

They seem to be generated by a variety of sources, I am deleting them as soon asthey appear rather than opening any but I am now up to about 600....😭

Oh no! Have you given your email address to some dodgy site?

Question Author

No.

Very careful about where I use it. 
If I can't get it sorted out tonight goodness only knows what I am going to wake up to tomorrow. 😢

Yes, it sounds as though your e-mail address has been added to one of the many sellers of such info'.

Prepare to be bombarded. Barry's recommendations will help.

Does your e-mail provider have a spam filter ?

You should have a way of reporting this to talk talk. Probably hidden away in the email settings somewhere. You have possibly been pwned.

You don't have to "give" your email to a dodgy site. Someone you though you could trust can do that. 

Or a company has been hacked, it happens

ooohhhh, bu*ger.....

I have been pwned, it seems.

Thank you for the information, everyone.

Change your email password and ensure that you are not using 1 password for all online accounts.
