Scam Emails

Eldo — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 11:10:57 GMT

I am being bombarded with emails titled "You Got Recorderd" I know they are scams but the volume of emails are now getting really annoying, up to 50 per day. Is there anything that can be done to block these.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

@Eldo Unfortunately, there is noway to stop this rubbish, but so long as you ignore them, they will drop off over a fairly short time.

Depending on your email software you may be able to set up a rule to forward all with the subject :

“You Got Recorded” or “You Got Recorderd” ( if that wasn’t a mis-type) to your junk folder.

As @jab1 says they will eventually stop….

Are these emails being delivered in bulk volumes to an email address that is on a Plusnet server
i.e. one that has yet to migrate to greenby ?

I ask because at one time I was seeing the exact same sex-extortion message in batches sent to my email that is Greenby hosted, but the sender appears to have changed tack and instead of sending via a mail provider's platform has started sending from a disposable bare IP and is using SMTP direct to the MX servers, the result being near instant barring of the sender's IP by Greenby so now I get just one copy of the message every few days.

They do appear to arrive in batches & they are becoming really annoying. I do not thinkni have had my account migrated to Greenby yet unless it has but I've not been notified. The messages appear to come from mail.enmail.com but think that iscjust an email platform.

mail.enmail.co is a POP3 / IMAP & SMTP server of the Greenby email platform.

Perhaps your DNS MX records have been changed to mx.enmail.co ahead of the migration to Greenby.

Think yourself lucky it's only 50! 200+ a day andbeen going on since around 1st September. Same message as you but also other obvious scams - (eg. Points expiring on Tesco, Sainsbury click to redeem them now etc ) plus scams on crypto. Usual junk just all getting through now.

Hopefully once I get migrated I can do something to block them...if not, I'll be migrating again!

Plusnet have not come up smelling of roses on this migration...going to lose a lot of broadband customers.
