Who sends these junk Emails?

Options
A few weeks ago I started receiving junk emails from people with various first names but all with the word Goldbar in the sender's address. I've raised the security to the highest level but at least one gets through each day.
They say they have great sums of cash awaiting me, and ideas for making great sums of cash, and of course with a link for me to click. (Don't panic - I wouldn't dream of doing so!)
Words have zeros instead of Os, and spaces in the words, such as 'ca sh', presumably to evade security filters.


What is this all about?

    Maybe change your email provider? I use Gmail and have no problems like this.
