@kenm

In marking as spam remember to be considerate. If you are receiving communications for services you signed upto / subscribed to but no longer want their messages, then unsubscribe and DO NOT mark as spam. Marking as spam can result in others who do want those communications not receiving them.

As well as using the 'mark as spam' option you should forward all suspicious emails to:

report@phishing.gov.uk

You'll get an autoreply thanking you for doing so.
