DOZENS OF EMAILS IN JUNK COMING FROM PHISHING PEOPLE

Postby patricia » Sat Jun 04, 2022 10:11 am

I am receiving loads of emails into my junk files and it is about things I post on the internet.

How can I get rid of them. I do have Adverse I think it is called which I thought was meant to stop all of that. It is worrying as I want to go into my bank account and I am afraid someone will take down my details as I log in.

Can someone suggest something or another antivirus and malware downlaod!

Malwarebytes is a good scanner. Try that and see what comes up.

Yes Enrique sorted it out for me and although I still get a few it is far from the 50 or so I was getting a day. I get about three scammers they seem to be and as Enrique has said Facebook and hotmail. :thumbup:
