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

    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

    Agree here too. There must be a way Microsoft can identify emails that have questionable addresses ie amazonssupport or Temu.support0789567maryfartpowder. But they choose not to… makes you think Microsoft are part of it in some way

    I get about one per day. Outlook evidently doesn't know how to recognize these and filter these out. Thunderbird does. Just label them as junk, and you're done.

    Yes, so far I haven't had anymore since I started fighting them. I do it with all them now, and yes, Outlook is way out of the loop.

    I started getting these from Thursday 30/11/23
    I was curious what was this and I opened it nothing happened. So I search it on Edge and I found this. Plus this is a student account.

    Not sure how relevant my experience is with the junk mail I get (including the wretched Temu), but I notice my junk traffic leaps up when I am at home on Wi-Fi (Sky) and not so much when out and about (Three).. I was abroad recently in Germany, roaming on their networks (T-Mobile etc), my junk mail almost dried up.

    PS - I created a Temu exclusion rule in my Outlook as well as more aggressive filtering - they just come back in another form - like t-e-m-u and other weird adaptations

    Now I find the easiest way is to pull up Junk on my phone/iPad and just hit ‘Empty Folder’. Wish there was a way to strike back at this unwanted poop!
