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

    This has been going on for weeks for me, very annoying. It's only the Temu ones making it in to my focused inbox at the moment, luckily nothing else is getting through, it's still very annoying blocking every email that comes in about this Temu nonsense though, I get more than 2 a day... I have already had more than two this morning.

    Is there a way to auto ignore any email that contain temur in any mix of upper or lwr case and with any characters before or after? basically if it reads like temur then chuck it? I am a human and I can do it, why not this AI? Where is the I?

    Outlook won't even let me see the email address used in the Temu spam emails and it won't let me block the sender, I assume because the email address is hidden? I didn't know that hiding your email address was a thing??? This should not be allowed.

    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??
