I am getting spam messages from my late wife who has been dead for 5 years. How do I stop these

, as they come from different addresses?

Sorry for your loss and this must be a worrying and heartbreaking turn of events.

 

Unfortunately there is little you can do as Spammers spoof email addresses and names. They will hopefully stop soon and move onto someone else's details.

 

Depending on how they come into your emails, you may be able to set up a rule that will move them to junk or delete automatically.

 

This varies depending on the email client you are using, but if you search their help functions it should give you instructions.
