I have had SPAM sent from what was supposed to be my own email address... did they not think I would be suspicious? Sometimes I send myself stuff, they must have gotten a list of emails I received from somewhere.
My email address was temporarily hacked a couple years back from the Dominican Republic (or via that country) so I suspect it was them.
Thanks GeronL. Your information is always Great.
If you’re getting “spam” from yourself, you should be concerned that your computer has been compromised by a botnet. Botnets were created to send spam in order to get around IP level blocking. Leaving your computer on and connected to the internet at all times with no firewall or poor security invites this. “They” don’t think anything, their level of care is right up there with a credit card thief who will run up online charges to the card with a sketchy delivery address until denied, then the whole thing gets deleted. Complaining to the site sending the spam will only make it worse, since you verify that it’s an active e-mail address, same with phone calls, they’re coming from offshore, not under this jurisdiction, so what do they care about our laws.
Ditto.
Ditto.
And ditto.
I HATE getting porn emails, erectile dysfunction emails, and free local sluts emails from “myself.”
It looks just like my email, and even hovering over it shows my own email, but trust me.
I didn’t send it to myself or anyone else.
And anything from “my” email goes into the spam folder.
I hate it, and Yahoo will do nothing about it.
