Thank you I’ll look now ... no I haven’t got any dots and can’t find anything to report them I’ll try the gove.uk address recommended. Thank you

Researching:
Matthew and Jane Elwood who had my great great grandfather Francis Edward Elwood baptised in 1807 at Horsham Sussex. There is no sign of Matthew or Jane from this date and my great great grandfather was brought up as Francis Edward Elwood MITCHELL

It depends on the system you are using. Just checked one of our ipads and there are no dots, just an arrow on the bottom right.

You can report phishing emails to [email protected]

If you look up the ‘proper’ company some of them have their own reporting addresses.

If you want to block them go to the 3 dots on the email itself at the right hand side to

the right of the reply arrow.
There is an option there to block them.

Go to the email you want to report.

At the right hand side at the top of the page are 3little dots.

Click on there and one of the options is report as spam

Click on that.
You can do it on any of your devices.

I use gmail.com for my emails and can screen out most junk mail on my PC but not on my iPad Does anyone know how to safely eliminate junk on an iPad. I really do not want to meet asian girls who are waiting to meet me, apparently. Or know what russian girls are doing, or lose 10 pounds in 10 days, buy Bitcoins etc etc.

I just keep deleting them but they don't stop coming, a lot from the same source I think. As my iPad is paired with my phone i get them on there too.

Any suggestion on how to get rid of the permanently. Google wasn't very helpful.
