[US] Is there a way to stop mass spammy scam emails after my email was part of a data breach?
I receive about 20 scam emails a day in my spam folder of the following varieties:
- Fake emails from Cashapp saying I have a large deposit from a casino waiting
- Emails saying those 62 and over can qualify for a reverse mortgage if they click here now
- Fearmongering emails about how I'll get dementia or die of low blood sugar if I don't click here now
- Trying to sell me weight loss meds without a prescription
- Offers of free chips at online casinos
- Information that my account has been blocked and all my photos and videos will be deleted tomorrow unless I take action and pay now
- I am the recipient of the customer of the year award at Omaha Steaks (an establishment I have never been to) and I can redeem now
- Emails saying they WANT MY DICK INSIDE THEM NOW 💦 (I do not have one)
- Other various emails about the penis I do not have, trying to sell me medications for it, make it larger, etc
- Warnings that the best porn video ever is getting deleted soon so I better watch it now
The senders' email addresses are always different, so blocking/reporting the sender doesn't work. Makes it impossible for me to look through my spam for legit emails. Is there a way to get rid of these, or do I have to just ignore them or make a whole new email?
