I have noticed a big increase in these spam phishing in my email in box and worst still can not block them, when I check the email address it shows email , so how can I block this when there is no email address?

despite technology, spammers will always be one jump ahead. Just like hackers and virus spreaders

That's is the problem jim, my blocker will not block them as they have no email address.

You do have to wonder how they can send an email without an address!!:hmmm:

Maybe not an address but they must have a domain (source/start point).

Clearly these spammers have found a new trick anyway I have now changed my email address.

I was getting all sorts claiming to be from shops in most part, some were a give away by saying I have won money vouchers goods and so on. Others were inviting me to sign up and the worst thing was they looked like the real deal! Of course I never clicked any links and their give away was no email address apart from email.

Well that's new one on me, I was of the understanding a domain was always necessary in order to be able to access the internet :hmmm:

I don't know how they did it but they did. Any luck it will be a while before I get any spam/scam and those with a full address no problem to block. Just hope I see those tricky ones again I hope.
