My Outlook inbox is suddenly getting a ton of spam and I don't know how to stop it

Last week, my personal Outlook email started getting ~50 spam emails per day. I barely ever use this email address, so I am not sure how or why this began to happen. How can I stop all of this spam from getting to my inbox?

I have been flagging all of the emails as spam, but it doesn't seem to be stopping the influx of emails I am getting.

    Im sorry Nelson but your suggestion only manages to allow us to call the spam email a "Blocked one" however, it doesnt actually block, I still keep getting emails in my intray. The emails are shown as blocked with that Red Line (showing blocked) but we still receive the emails, so really never blocked.
