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 too have been receiving emails purporting to come from Temu and I too have never had a Temu account.

    But I notice that each of these messages (they end up in my Focussed Inbox incidentally) comes from a different email address.

    Consequently I have been continually adding addresses to my blocked senders list (in the Junk settings), but still I receive daily or twice daily emails.

    Because the mails are (a) not recognised by my mail agent as Spam and (b) originate from different email addresses, none of the suggested fixes will stop them coming.

    Surely there's another way to stop this?

    idk what's happened all of a sudden. it's not even just Temu emails anymore, I'm getting the typical fake Trojan emails, Spotify emails, flash sale emails, and Norton emails in my Inbox

    it's not flooding me but they just don't go to my Spam anymore. literally only started 2 days ago

    Behave yourself. I have reported every one as junk and more keep coming. Your spam filters are woefully inadequate as they can't even detect a blatantly false Email address. Your Email product team need to get a grip
