About 1 month ago, we started gettting slammed with spam, some of which was quite vulger. After researching the problem, I noted on common characteristic, they were all coming from {removed per forum guidelines}, which was hidden within the internet headers. I seem obvious that BestBuy's domain, geeksquad.com has been hacked and someone is sending out emails to BestBuy members, but no one has bother to inform the customer. Has any other of my personal infromation been compromised?

Hello. I’ve just finished a call with tech support and they relayed to me there was no way to report these scam emails.
I’ve been receiving hundreds of emails from {removed per forum guidelines} and I cannot figure out how to block these. I do have the address on my blocked sender list but they keep coming. Sample email bellow.
What can I do?
Thanks for your help.
