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

It sounds like you're experiencing a common issue with spam emails. Despite blocking the sender, the emails keep coming, suggesting the sender is using multiple addresses or techniques to bypass filters. This pattern, especially with promises of winnings or urgent actions, is typical of phishing attempts. It's crucial not to open or interact with these emails, as they might contain harmful links or attachments. Instead, mark them as spam, and consider tightening your email security settings. Additionally, you may want to review your account's security and consider changing your password to ensure your email hasn't been compromised.

its a scam. there is no real person at temu. it relies solely on bots for everything. if you use their chat on their site or messenger on facebook even on x your replies are only answered by bots.

This is how I handle Temu Pallets and any other "you have won", "We're gong to cancel you protection" and anything else that lands in my spam e-mail. I click on DELETE ALL; then go to Recently Deleted, and click on Permanently Delete. If you don't click on Permanently Delete, they remain on your hard drive. Don't forget to empty your Recycle Bin each night.

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

Hi,

You can block the sender email domains, which can be accessed by hovering over the spam email. Sometimes it doesn't display a sender email, in which case this option is out.

1. Log into Outlook in either the web browser or the windows Outlook app;
2. Click on the 'cog' symbol towards the top right;
3. Click on "Email";
4. Click on "Junk email";
5. Under "Blocked senders and domains" click "+Add";
6. Type "INSERT DOMAIN HERE";
7. Press 'Enter';
8. Click "Save" at the bottom of the list.

You should paste in the last and penultimate words in the address, for example if the domain was called lowlife.spammer.com, then you'd just need to paste "spammer.com". This way it does not matter what combination of characters that the scumbag puts in front of or just after the '@', the spam will get caught by the domain. For example, if you receive a spam email from the domain scumbag.spammer.com, it would still be blocked However, a spam email from lowlife.spammer.net or lowlife.scumbag,com would not be blocked and would need separate entries.

You can check it has saved the domain by starting to type it into the search bar on the right and it should appear even before you have typed it out in full.

Even better, unlike rules, which only apply to the inbox, the blocking function applies equally to junk email, which is where I presume this spam is going, and the result is to block it completely so you won't see it at all - not even in deleted or recoverable items. This is a positive change from previously, where I believe it just ensured that blocked senders and domains went into the junk folder.

I also recommend reporting the spam email to:

• Spam.org
• Spamhaus
• SpamCop.net

and they will variously contact the relevant ISPs and eventually the registrars and blocklist the IP/domains/URLs, which reduces the chances of receiving more in the future.

You can also find details of image hosting providers in the body of the email. You can contact them to ask them to remove the images. In particular, Imgur and Zupimages are very responsive in removing spam content. This also reduces the effectiveness of the spam.

I hope the above is of assistance.

Cheers,

TE
