Am usually extreme careful with giving out my email address.
Recently signed up for an umbrella company for a particular project. (Giant, as they were the only one on a particular approved list at both an agency and an end client). Used my email address. Almost immediately I start getting malicious emails to it with my Giant username in the title. Have had literally hundreds in the past couple of days.
Any recourse?
Any options to stop it? Mail comes from different addresses each time so even if I'm blocking and reporting all, they just keep coming.
I was waiting for a parcel and the first email was from 'parcelforce' or thereabouts so I opened it which clearly triggered a 'this clown opens emails' alert with them so they've doubled down on sending them.
Obviously didn't click links (though the one I opened had a large hyperlinked image appearing to show a parcel tracking thing).
