Reporting Spam?

    Is there anywhere that you can report spam coming from an EU company?
    They send 12-15 emails per day to me and lots of other people I know.
    We've all unsubscribed multiple times but it seems the more you unsubscribe the more sh1te you get.
    There must be some regulatory body who can do something about it.

    If they're using a static IP address, you can blacklist it within your mail server settings.


    Depending on your mail provider (G-Suite, Outlook etc) the 'block sender function should work pretty well, or you can use something like blocksender.io or unroll.me to block multiple sources.



    Hope this helps solve this issue

    Their mail is automatically deleted as it comes in to me but that's not the issue.
    What I was really trying to find out was there an organisation or watchdog that they could be reported to, and who in turn would take action against them.
    This is a commercial outfit making money from unsuspecting mail recipients by getting them to take part in mickey mouse awards programs.

    You could report them to the data protection authority in their country of origin

    Yesterday I reported them to our Data Protection Commission so I'll wait to see what happens. If no joy then it's on to the Italians......

    if it's an Italian company then you'd need to go to the Italian DPA:
