"Ukranian Girls" Scam Always Getting Through Spam Filter No Matter How Many Times I Report Emails
Hi Persuader5356,
To improve the situation, here are some suggestions:
Adjust Spam Filter Settings: Check your email provider's spam filter settings to ensure they are appropriately configured. You may need to adjust the sensitivity level or update any custom filtering rules.
Use Email Filters and Rules: Set up custom email filters or rules within your email client to automatically redirect or delete emails containing specific keywords or from suspicious senders.
Reporting to Email Provider
Strengthen Email Security: use MFA
Avoid Responding or Clicking Links: Never respond to spam emails or click on any links within them, as it can confirm your email address and potentially expose you to further spam.

I'm having the same issue. The problem with the email filters is there are a very large number of permutations of the "Ukraine/Ukrainian" words they are using. It's not just a font change, they are using different characters to spell out the word. If you were to paste the word in a text editor as plain text, it would show exactly as in the subject. This means there are hundreds of different combinations that can be used to get around any custom filters.
Here are just 2 examples in plain text:

Hashim305 thanks leon. Uninstall and reinstall worked for a while but now they're back, but not nearly as many. Twenty + years with Hotmail, I guess it's time to move to Gmail.
All the best
