Spam email is slipping through Gmail's filter

Question

Starting last week, I started receiving a bunch of spam email to to my main Gmail account. It is super annoying and I get around 3 per day right now. I mark each email as spam but I keep getting more. I haven't had this problem in years. Is there anything I can do? I can't make a filter because they are being sent from different addresses and domains.

My company Gmail account was once spammed by nasty things about viagra and so on. I couldn't really resolve it at first but here's what I did:

1. Click "Create a filter" at the top of the Gmail window, to the right of the search bar;
2. Enter the modified email address in the "To" field, and click "Next";
3. Select the appropriate action, such as marking the message read, sending it straight into the archive, applying an identifiable label or deleting it;
4. Click "Create Filter" to create the filter;
5. Create additional filters for each modified email address.
