Sudden flood of spam emails

[amandazzz]

Help! I've suddenly got an influx of spam emails every day. I'm simply sending them to my spam box. Is there another way? Like automatically having them detected and moved to spam folder? Thanks!

This depends on your email software. For instance gmail blocks a number of spam emails on algorithms used by them. It adjusts the list of spam sources depending on various factors including users adding them to spam or key words/phrases. In addition lots of software can allow you to filter and ùse keywords to redirect automatically to nominated folders or the spam folder. It is recommended that you regularly review your spam folder to identify any mail incorrectly directed to that folder. I suggest you Google or search on YouTube the name of your software and "blocking spam".

I don't have any issues in my google Gmail, but still these spam emails are coming through in my samsung Email app.

In the Samsung Email app, you can add email address to a spam list.

In the Samsung email app, go into Email Settings, then scroll down to Spam Adresses.

Yes, been doing that.. but just wondering how it suddenly happened.. especially right after I updated the Email app

It wouldn't be Samsung email.

Check haveibeenpawned and see if your email has been affected.
