Unwanted junk mail

Junk mail…

What’s happened to my IPhone 11, can’t seem to avoid junk mail anymore, I’ve gone to my folder and directed unwanted mail to my junk folder yet I still receive at least 30 a day???? This started about a year ago, though maybe one of apple’s upgrade would eventually fix the problem, but not yet.
Would appreciate any advice, thanks

Nothing happened to your phone!

Your email got on a list and they are utilizing it.

One of mine got on a list about 3 weeks ago....
I've been getting a lot of junk mail from the may places that use the list.
Always with links to the same 4 or 6 domains, but different directories within.

They all go to my spam folder, but I have to check the header of each email in the spam folder because sometimes my email provider flags emails that I have forwarded. If I flag the forwarded emails as spam, the forwarder gets gigged, not the originator.
THAT is a PITA!

Luckily it's less than a dozen a day for me.

My son pays a monthly few of around $2 -$3 so he doesn't get all kinds of emails and adds but I don't know what it is.

As Lucas said, there are companies that provide a SPAM filtering service. Some are free, some are better than others. I would start by contacting your internet provider and see if they provide any Spam filtering. There was a law passed that requires them to do some filtering. Since mine started, my junk email went way down.
