Increase in spam emails since sign up


Has anyone else experienced this since signing up?

I've noticed a significant increase in the spam emails I receive over the past couple of months. Worrying a lot of these are fake Currys emails when I was awaiting a voucher from ID.

Hi @Ghost21922.

Can you advise if you are referring to spam from iD Mobile or is it from other businesses?

You can send us a screenshot here showing the senders email address if you are looking to verify an email address.

You're not the only one, also had a bunch of fake Curry's emails when waiting on the voucher.

@Kash they're not from iD they're phishing emails from various accounts, pretending to be Currys mainly. Only started when I signed up and concerning its when I was waiting for a voucher from Currys

Hi @Ghost21922,

That is strange indeed, however you should have only received an email from Curry’s regarding the gift card.

We can only advise to block (if possible) any email that you think are spam/phishing.
