Duluge of SPAM from "agenciaidea.es"

After a fairly quiet six months-or-so, I am suddenly getting a flood of SPAM from "******@agenciaidea.es".

I am talking around 50-per-day, and sometimes in batches of several within a few minutes.

They all have the same format, with purple writing at the top and the "advert" appearing as an image below.

Also, the "To:..." is never my email address, but a Hotmail address with a load of random letters (e.g. "******@hotmail.com").

Help!

    Followed SamR68's steps and after 6 hours, no emails from ...agenciaideas.es. When I clicked on the ellipses on one of the offending emails (it was ostensibly from Bose), the dialog box specifically said it would block all emails from ...agenciaidea.es, not just email from 'Bose'.
    Sof far, so good. A VAST improvement.

    I opened the email, hit the drop-down menu and selected "Report" then "Report phishing". It's been almost an hour and I haven't gotten any more from them (after averaging 20 per hour or more).

    You can change your outlook settings so that unknown senders go straight to junk folder. Outlook application on MAC/PC required.

    To automatically send emails from unknown senders to the junk folder in Outlook, follow these steps:

    1. Open Outlook and click on the Rules tab.
    2. Select Manage Rules & Alerts.
    3. Click on New Rule.
    4. In the Select a rule template section, choose Apply a rule to messages I receive.
    5. Click on Next.
    6. In the Conditions section, select From and click on People or Public Group.
    7. Leave this field blank to apply the rule to all unknown senders.
    8. Click on Next.
    9. In the Actions section, select Move the message to the specified folder.
    10. Click on Browse and select the Junk folder.
    11. Click on OK.
    12. Click on Next.
    13. In the Rule name section, give your rule a name.
    14. Check the Run this rule now on messages already in my Inbox box if you want the rule to apply to existing emails.
    15. Click on Finish.

    Your rule is now created and will automatically send emails from unknown senders to the junk folder.

    You can also create a new rule so that all senders from a certain address go the deleted folder, which will automatically queue the email address for deletion entirely. Feel free to report the messages as phishing in the Outlook mobile app also.

    To create a rule in Outlook for PC that automatically sends emails from a certain sender to the deleted folder, follow these steps:

    1. Open Outlook and click on the Rules tab.
    2. Select Manage Rules & Alerts.
    3. Click on New Rule.
    4. In the Select a rule template section, choose Apply a rule to messages I receive.
    5. Click on Next.
    6. In the Conditions section, select From and click on People or Public Group.
    7. Enter the email address of the sender you want to filter.
    8. Click on Add.
    9. Click on Next.
    10. In the Actions section, select Move the message to the specified folder.
    11. Click on Browse and select the Deleted Items folder.
    12. Click on OK.
    13. Click on Next.
    14. In the Rule name section, give your rule a name.
    15. Check the Run this rule now on messages already in my Inbox box if you want the rule to apply to existing emails.
    16. Click on Finish.

    Your rule is now created and will automatically send emails from the specified sender to the deleted folder.

    I think I discovered the reason that these are not at least going to Junk. I found the email address in my Safe Senders List. I am very careful about handling emails from unknown senders and I blocked this address as soon as it showed up. My only guess is that there is something embedded in these messages that puts the address in the Safe Senders List.
