How to stop SPAM !!

Spam where?  On email?  What email service do you use?  If using Gmail easy enough to mark as spam as they are received - and that platform had good ability to sort them out before delivery.  Suspect you may have provided your email too easily to web sites or others asking on email and thus are on a list of easy marks.  If unable to get under control perhaps a new email and tight control on who you provide it would be in order.

As written: if the spam is shown in your normal/unread folder you can not do more than mark as spam. Not just delete.

If they are in the spam folder you have nothing to do.

As spam filters are not perfect you still have to check the spam folder for legit mails.

12 per day is not that exceptional.

 

If it gets overwhelming: check where you used this address and step by step change to a new address and give up the spam infested.

Then be very careful whom you give the new address.

Use some extra junk addresses for newsletter and other irrelevant registrations.

 

For Gmail there are tricks to find out who distributes your address:

(should I say that I came upon a registration where the "+" sign in the address was not accepted:biggrin:)
