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 am also getting multiple scam/junk emails purportedly from Temu every hour and reporting them as junk or phishing to Microsoft does absolutely nothing to stop the deluge. Each email comes from a different sender address and creating a rule to block emails with 'Temu' in the subject or sender address does not work for whatever reason, they still get through and running the rule sees them remain in the inbox. Microsoft are getting more and more useless by the day,

    There is absolutely no point in blocking these emails to be honest as the email address they reportedly come from will be different every time. So don’t waste your time there.

    I am really thinking about moving away from my outlook email address as Microsoft’s junk mail system is garbage. The fact that we can’t apply rules to emails in the junk folder is ridiculous. I want to be able to apply a rule to permanently delete them so I never ever see them. But they don’t allow that to happen!! Absolutely ridiculous!

    So I reported every one to ******@phishing.gov.uk, blocked as many as I could and then suddenly they stopped! And I can tell that is bliss!

    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!

    So I reported every one - that’s every one - to ******@phishing.gov.uk, and I sent another message on this list to MS to get their act together and complained to MS on some other support line, and then yesterday they just stopped!

    So I don’t know what worked best, but don’t give up!

    Complain like mad to MS - they don’t like bad PR cos they’ll lose money, and we all know how much they want to earn!!!

    Good luck!
