It is mildly infuriating that I have to periodically check my spam folder, looking for things like insurance claim updates, credit card bills, etc., yet the filter is bad enough to let emails from addresses like "whatever_somenumber@gmail.com" through, with the most outrageous PDF documents attached.
I don't get a lot of spam to my Gmail surprisingly, but I had one 3 days ago in my inbox with only a picture attached inline... based on the filename, it sounds like an invoice scam (I didn't open it).

Yes, quite a few emails which are exceedingly clearly spam.
The issue is that you get added to some sort of list. The sender is from a spam domain that keeps changing so it cannot be blocked.
Im not sure how it happened. But a loved one is affected. I have the persons email open on my pc so I monitor it. My loved one receives phising emails from Norton , FedEx etc impersonators constantly. Script is "his subscription (package) etc will not renew unless he pays". If he replies, then they call and take the cc over the phone.
The person is very gullible to these sort of emails. Ive tried to get them deleted before they hit the inbox.
It is relentless. Ive set up a long list of email filters... but some still get thru.
Im not a developer but i did take many CS classes at school and coded in java. I know how tonuse filters . I've tried to whois and tried going to the hoster, or the email provider, to get this sender banned. Its usually an entity in Poland or Ukraine that chooses to let this happen.
id love to known What else I can do
Yeah I’ve been getting loads of spam hitting my inbox. It’s actually hilarious, email addresses such as “whhdjsjwjsjbxjejwjabdjeje@mail.ru” with the subject “Free Yeti Hopper” and yet Google can’t identify it as spam. The good news is that in my case, there are patterns I can filter. I’ve set up about 30 filters so far to automatically delete such emails. Works great. I recommend using exact matching (double quotes)…

Is never the same. Not the domain. Not the sender. How do you filter a sender that keeps changing into random characters, if the subject or content is also changing?
