bunch of emails from "me". spam etc.. help
so for about a month now ive gotten like 5 to 10 spam messages a day from either my email adress or it says "me" in the sender thing. for stupid shit like viagra and credit cards and shit.... so i changed my email password but i still get them- and the emails say my email adress but not like my name so im guessing they only got my email adress and not my actual personal info. but how do they send them so it looks like it came from me? is there any way to stop this? even changing my password didnt work.
mad annoying.

"They" have discovered your email address as a valid one and now it's being sold all over the world.
Are you saying they have your real first and last name? This could have been from someplace you went and signed up for something. I never give my real name. I have a trash email account that I use for, well, trash. Also, I would run a virus scan, just to be sure. At this point maybe set up some filters. |

What kind of sites are you visiting brah? If you made a new e-mail but are still getting spam, you might want to look at what you've been clickin' lately
