How do you stop Spam addressed to User(#####)@comcast.net. Where (#####) appears to be randomly generated numbers?

All of a sudden I've started receiving spam addressed to User(#####)@comcast.net. With randomly gererated numbers. I can sometimes unsubscribe from the junk Email but later will receive the same junk email with a different User(#####)where the number portion changes. Sometimes I try to unsubscribe I'm told that the address is not registered with the spammer. How can I stop this from happening?

Danoj Good evening! I would recommend to reach out to our customer service team, and request to be transferred to our Customer Security Assurance (CSA) team. They are the experts that can help with any suspicious emails coming through for any potential scams.

There are lots of ways for spammers/scammers to send email to addresses other than the one(s) on the "To:" line.

... I can sometimes unsubscribe from the junk Email ...

It's best avoid unsubscribing from spam/scam emails. Unsubscribing from a legitimate sender (one that you've subscribed to) is OK, but clicking ANY link in an email from a spammer or a scammer is asking for trouble. Unsubscribing just confirms for the sender that your email address is active and invites more abuse. You should NEVER click "Unsubscribe" or any other link in spam email!
