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

    A small solution is to use Rules. Since the actual email is hidden you need to go off the subject and filter by just single words e.g. Temu, or "last chance" or other terms that you would normally not see but keep repeating. Then make filtered mail go to junk mail that way you can periodically see that it did not filter something you wanted.

    Not ideal, but it sort of works once you have a few rules setup.

    I think Microsoft should deal with this. I;ve had 9 messages by 4pm. MS is happy to charge you for everything, so it really should earn it the subscription! Isn't that what their subscription business model should do, or is it just a money-mining scam!

    Is anyone from Microsoft in on this topic?

    I know spam & nuisance emails have long been a perennial problem .... but this increase in frequency of nuisance mails that cannot be blocked by Microsoft's current guidance (because each one originates from a different email address) is becoming a real pain.

    And not just for myself it would appear ... but for many more on this string/topic.

    Is there nothing that can be done? I assume, if not, emails users could eventually suffer an effective denial of service due to being overwhelmed with emails that have no relevance for them??
