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 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!

    This. I have spent over a week sending phishing reports for these non-stop Temu spam and all the others that have started coming in - out of nowhere - when this was barely an issue before.

    It’s clear from this thread it’s a widespread issue so I am flabbergasted that MS are being so lax and unwilling to do anything to protect their subscribers.

    It’s a disgrace and something needs doing ASAP. And no, setting a rule won’t cut it

    A small solution is to use Rules. Since the actual email is hidden you need to go off the subject and filter by just single words e.g. Temu, or "last chance" or other terms that you would normally not see but keep repeating. Then make filtered mail go to junk mail that way you can periodically see that it did not filter something you wanted.

    Not ideal, but it sort of works once you have a few rules setup.

    This has started happening to me too within the last few days. All the emails are from emails called "anxiety.support" followed by random letters all addressed as Temu with shady links. I have never used Temu before and I never will. I am over it. I report these emails and block the sender but they keep coming with the same email only followed by different letters.
