Please reinstate my message that I posted on here asking for help. Of course it was entitled "Dodgy email" because, I was wanting advice as to how to how to deal with the possibility that my email account had been hacked.
Rather upsetting to find my time wasted after writing it all, and then receiving the following from the rather cowardly "Anonymous":
"Your post - 'Dodgy email', has been identified as potentially being spam and has been held in our spam filters. If not spam, please contact us by posting in the community for the attention of the community team."
So here I am, having to waste more time having to sign in, write this etc.
Upset. Please reinstate my thread!

Dodgy email
I found an extremely dodgy email in my TalkTalk.net inbox yesterday (NOT in spam). It appeared to be from me (my full name) and subject Re: for all.
The main body was saying that On Thursday, May 09, 2019 10.25AM My Name wrote: Might be something you'd want to check and then stuff directing me to http....(the essential bits involved the following but I 've broken it up to stop it working) bt.....7z.......If.....hn.....no.....info/
It looks extremely dodgy and I have deleted it from both the inbox and recycling. Has my account been hacked? I took a look at my email account (n.b. this is NOT the same address that I use for My Account Billing, and I do not want the Billing one changed or investigated at all). I found that I could not see where or how to change my TalkTalk.net password.
It used to be easy. I also see in other threads that other people are in a terrible mess with trying to change their password. Maybe I should just leave it as is? How am I supposed to be able protect my TalkTalk.net account from hackers if I can't control my own password? And finally has my TalkTalk.net account been fiddled with by someone to cause me to receive that message, spoofing my full name? For now, I have decided to simply change the way my name displays on my email account in order to baffle whoever spoofed it.
Upsetting.
