Thank you for forwarding a suspicious message to us. Timely alerts from
people like you help us to act quickly and protect many more people from
being affected.

As of January 31st 2023, the number of reports received stand at more
than 17,358,300 with the removal of more than 114,100 scams across
209,500 URLs.

We are unable to inform you of the outcome of our review, but we can
confirm that we do act upon every message received.

We will analyse the content of the email you have sent to us and any
websites it links to. If we discover activity that we believe to be
malicious, we may:

seek to block the address the email came from, so it can no longer send
emails

work with website hosting companies to remove links to malicious websites

raise awareness of commonly reported suspicious emails and methods used
with the help of our partners

Please note…

You should not report a suspected crime to us. If you think you may have
been a victim of fraud or cyber crime, you should report it:

to Action Fraud if you live in England, Wales or Northern Ireland: www.actionfraud.police.uk or call 0300 123 2040

to Police Scotland if you live in Scotland: call 101

There are a number of ways you can protect yourself from attacks like
this and the NCSC has published plenty of advice that will help you to
stay secure online; for example:

For a full overview of the NCSC’s advice for the general public please
see our dedicated individuals and families webpage.

How we handle the information you send to us

Transmitting information over the internet is generally not completely
secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of an individual’s data,
which is sent at your own risk. We do however have procedures and
security features in place to keep data secure once we receive it.

We may share details with various government departments, our Law
Enforcement partners (such as the National Crime Agency and the City of
London Police) and other organisations where doing so is necessary and proportionate for the proper discharge of our statutory functions. We
won’t share an individual’s information with any other organisations for marketing, market research or commercial purposes.

The information we hold is exempt from Freedom of Information requests.

For further detail on how we handle information you send us, please see
our Privacy Statement.

Further information about reporting suspicious emails to the NCSC can be
found at www.ncsc.gov.uk/report-suspicious-emails.

Thank you for your continued support.

Stop replying then the rest of us wouldn't have to see it.

I understand - someone here posted about it - that it's possible to set up filters for unwanted items?

Are you suggesting that folk who use Apple products don't receive
'suspicious' email messages?

Surely you are mistaken if that is what you believe.
