Excessive Spam, Junk Mail from "geeksquad" email address?
Anyone still having the problem? Creating a rule would send the emails to a folder and get them out of the way but recently those emails have seemed to disappear. They are not being sent to the junk folder or that folder I set up to catch all the geeksquad emails. Did Microsoft finally crack down? It's just weird that they all disappeared.
I went from multiple emails a day from geeksquad to 0 for the week. Something changed.
The answer why you keep getting emails from geeksquad in your inbox after adding the previous email address to the junk list is simple.
Note the email has an address like:
j1374gg5PvYF <email address removed for privacy reasons> not the letters j1374gg5PvYF that is part of the spammer email address.
so after blocking that email address the next email will be something like:
f1424gk6UbUT <email address removed for privacy reasons> and whala you got another spam in your inbox.
