Main Question - Posted From sharon:
I received an email (porn) From my own e-mail address. How does this happen

Guest Says:
they aren't using your email address, its just spam that is being sent out where they can use anyones address so most likely its a friend that had your email in their address book, and a virus or spyware sent that out and chose your email as the fake email to use, happens all the time.

Moderator Says:
Alot of people get fooled by this, your email address is not stolen or used. This is a common theme used by spammers, and its easy to have spam software that allows them to make the email look like any address they want as the sender, but it's not really coming from your email address.
