I am getting Emails From "Temu." and I Have No Idea What They Are

I am familiar with Temu, although I don't use it, have never made an account, signed up, or interacted with it in any way whatsoever

this started today, where I keep getting emails in my Inbox from a sender called "Temu." (I've not opened any of the emails to look at the other email to see if it's legit or not). I've gotten 3 in total, which I've all deleted

the first 2 had a description: "You have won an Temu pallets". first came in at 11am, second came in at 3pm

the most recent one either came in at 6pm or 7pm, I forgot to make note, but it had a description along the lines of: "RE: confirm your receipt"

I have blocked the sender every single time on each of these emails but it hasn't made a difference. if the third email came in at 7pm, then if I'm not mistaken that's 4 hours apart between each email

is anyone else receiving these or...why do I keep getting these? is it more likely that it's a spam email if I've blocked the sender and it keeps working around it? it keeps coming to my Inbox, not Spam

    I agree, this is inadequate. I have messaged with Temu and they don't seem to care that someone is using their name to send spam. I will be deleting a hotmail account that I have had for well over 25 years iif this is not resolved and going through the painful process of transferring contacts to gmail. I write new blocking rules each morning, but to no avail. Assuming that mails are being generated by an AI to bypass filters, surely Microsoft should be able to incorporate an AI detector as a spam filter.

    You're right but it was interesting to find that 4 of 6 email addresses were pawned. Hadn't checked since 2020. My fitness Pal one of them that I reckon lots of us use.

    I am also getting tortured by Temu emails. In a day, I get too many to count.

    Doesn’t matter what do, they still come through. I send to my junk folder, report as fishing etc, but they still come through.

    Very frustrating.

    I'm getting exactly the same but I've figured out a way to stop them by going into the the microsoft settings and going into Junk Email and entering that countries domain suffix code. For example the unwanted emails seem to be coming from country suffix .de (germany) So everything ending in a.de is blocked. Heres and example: ******@milkrun.flea.de ??? Notice the country suffix '.de' but added as 'a.de' So anything ending in that suffix in blocked. Here's another. i.e ******@bombaida.de See the country's domain suffix '.de' but with added 'a.de' it is blocked. And here are some others...etc b.de, c.de...etc and 1.de, 2.de...etc I don't mind blocking the '.de (germany)' country domain suffix because I don't know anyone that's from germany with emails ending in '.de' Seems to be working. On other note whoever is sending these unwanted emails, they're trying to use other suffix's ...i.e. .com That is a shame because the 'hotmail' domain uses the '.com' suffix and if I filter the .com suffix, then I might block everyone who's email's end in the '.com suffix i.e ******@hotmail.com or ******@gmail.com and I don't want that to happen. Scammers are ruthless. We just need to keep supporting cyber security so that our personal information and finances stay safe and secured. I hope this makes sense and it helps. Good luck.
