Have you ever gotten email that looks as if it came from you? You check the email address and is your own email address? At first it seems that way. The truth is that spam mail got around your spam protection program.
Computer spammers found a way to get around your anti programs and used a fake version of your email address. This is done to fool your spam protection program, your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and its email server to think it is actually you sending yourself those emails.
This is just another method spammers use to get compromising messages to your computer. Illicit programs are used to write your email address in the header of the email.
Even though this goes on, is not necessarily a breach in security. It is also very likely that others have received such emails and that when they go about to checking, they too see their email address in the header of the message.
The suggestion about such emails is always not to open them and to delete them. Emails with your address on the header that did not come from you are very likely to be malicious.
Never allow your curiosity to compromise your personal information and your computer.
