Hi,

Since couple of weeks i get a lot of spam mails which don't contain a sender and are only send to me. Nowadays I get multiple a day. I already tried to unsubscribe but that does also nothing. When i want to see the mail details the sender is just a name, no mail address. The mail is only to me. And a lot couple of times it also says its a trusted sender and its automatically flagged even I didn't do that. i already tried to make rules that it will me moved but still a lot of mails slip trough it. Is there a possibility that my mail has some kind of virus or something? I have send some screenshots of samples what I get.

    Hello SlimeKingz! I'm Gunasekar and I'd be happy to help you with your question.

    Microsoft has implemented several measures to prevent spam emails from reaching your inbox, including AI-based filters. However, some spam emails may still slip through the cracks.

    There could be various reasons why you keep receiving spam messages from different sources. One of the common reasons is that spammers often buy email lists from hackers on the dark web who have hacked into various websites on the internet. It is possible that you may have subscribed to one of these websites unknowingly.

    If you are continuously receiving spam e-mails even after blocking them, it is evident that your account might be compromised or some third-party websites have your information. In this case, you will need to protect your account.
