I keep getting mail on my iPhone that’s says it’s being sent to account ***@aol.com I don’t have an aol account. This account isn’t under my accounts in the mail settings and I can’t block these emails it get rid of it. I saw someone else was experiencing this problem but no one responded.

I just saw this on another website and I thought I’d share it!
In Gmail (NOT the mobile app):
1) Go to settings
2) Click ‘see all settings’
3) Select ‘Filters and Blocked Addresses’
4) ‘Create New Filter’
5) Fill in the ‘To’ line with the address that you are receiving email for, but which doesn’t belong to you.
6) Hit ‘Create Filter’
7) Select what you want done with it. I chose to ‘Delete it’ AND ‘Also apply to # matching conversations’.
8) Move on with life.
Same! It’s like someone is sitting behind a computer laughing at simply annoying people by sending emails with ZERO PURPOSE. Come one, the subject like being something like “bUrn_f@t-iN-60_days” knowing people don’t open those not click them. What’s the purpose?
And the “to:” and “cc:” are even always my name. It’s like MynamanoJ@aol. checked header info and everything and I have no idea *** is going on!!! I get about 20 emails daily in every account on my phone!

I added just added the filter for “To:”, though most of the time this spam is addressed to “CC:” and “BCC:” as well. I don’t think the Filter is going to work.
I can’t believe Apple, Google et al have not addressed this Spam method by now. I’ve been getting them for nearly two years.
I have blocked them on my phone, and on my laptop i create the filter, and this morning i have less than usual.
But the day is young so we will see. Don't know if it's an apple or google problem but one of them need to figure it out.
I’ve been having the same problem for probably a year. Nothing has worked do far. Most of the emails will have some part of my name in them, all to an email account. I had an email account probably 20 years ago.
So annoying!
I don’t think our email clients can stop this spam. To do it, they need to be able to block email based on domain only. Ideally they would block senders from aol.com, unless the address was in our contacts.
Where is Apple in all of these discussion threads? I have tried EVERYTHING that has been suggested here and nothing works (so far). Is it possible that Apple has a vulnerability that they don't want to admit publicly? Hey Apple -- How about an actual fix for this???????
The sender is always "carshield" or "medicare" or some other business, if i click on it there is some off the wall email that doesn't even look real, often a gmail. I have tried to set it to reject any @aol but it doesn't do it though i have seen a possible reduction
Thank you for sharing it. It worked immediately. I was receiving 50+ emails per day with an AOL email that I do not have. Even they started introducing random extra letters what was making more difficult to stop them. THANK YOU!!!
I didn’t work. They’re cc’ my account as well. Nothing I’ve tried is working. I want to throw my phone
It’s happening to me too. And all the emails being sent won’t allow you to unsubscribe. I even tried blocking the contact. Truly sucks.
IM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM! 🤬🤬
Blocking them doesn’t help me at all
Does any one know how to make it stop?
Nope ! We are here to ask
APPLE
F*** this is so annoying... glad I’m not the only one though. Been trying to find a solution since the middle of 2020.
Spam AOL mail account that’s not mine
