How to block persistent unwanted emails?

A bad email keeps arriving. It is not in my contacts. The name being used is someone I know. That person is not in my contacts. I block it each time without opening and delete it through the junk folder.

How do I stop / block it completely?

Scammers often spoof the sender name, so blocking an address doesn't help when each email comes from a different one. Mark them as Junk each time so Mail learns, and don't click anything in them. You can also forward them to [email protected] if they look like phishing.
