OK, this is a simple filter at this stage, I expect we'll need to tweak it as more examples come in.
But looking in the FROM field, for REGEX
@.+[:digit:]{4,}
That's looking for 4 or more consecutive digits after the @ in the From field.

Great. As a safeguard you might want to add a rule to that filter, beside Add Rule click the drop down arrow and select Spam Tool Rule >> set it to be "Sender is not on my Friends List' >> and change the filter to match ANY to ALL rules.
Just in case you have any contacts with digits in their domain, then the filter will ignore if their are on the list.
