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

    Excellent point. At one point I was getting bombarded with scam emails several times an hour. I'm getting it under control by creating rules, but shouldn't have to do it. I'm beginning to feel Microsoft doesn't have the talent to deal with it nor actually care.

    I'm also getting other options like proton mail and will eventually just completely dump Microsoft email altogether soon.

    It's getting worse by the day. It's not just Temu emails but endless scam emails about Solar Panel funding, Ryanair (four in the last 15 minutes all from a different email addresses) etc...

    What on earth is Microsoft doing behind the scenes??? It's getting unbelievably frustrating that they don't seem to have the ability or willingness to successfully screen these. Are Outlook staff getting backhanders from these dodgy companies per chance? Either that or Microsoft no longer have the expertise to block junk mail.

    If this doesn't get better within the next few weeks, I will seriously consider deleting my account and using Gmail as my primary address. Up your game Microsoft!

    I created several rules and rerouted them to spam since blocking them didn't work. Haven't had any in a few days so far.

    I had the same problem. I had to create and run several rules. It finally stopped.
