New Levels of Spam

Hi All, 

Over the past 2 weeks there has been a significant step up i the amount of SPAM. I realise that its Christmas so the people sending this up probably step up their efforts - but surely VM should be catching these obvious mails and stop them at source.. 

Is anyone else seeing this? 

For interest.. they are pretending to be from Temu, Boots, Sainsburys, TV licencing, Screwfix etc etc 

In each case, apparently, I have won a prize!! Garbage, of course.

    The email addresses for all these nonsense emails are

    similar.. multiple letters/numbers @ ...
