I have been getting emails recently from a company making silly job offers after updating my jobsite CV. I normally ignore them as they pop straight into my yahoo spam folder. Today I had four of theses emails from my email address to my email address.

I assumed my account had been compramised and changed the password. Now I have two more this afternoon post password change. Should I be worried about this? I currently am as my email has paperless banking attached to it and i am worried incase somone has access.

It is really easy to send emails from any address in the world. I could email you from bill@microsoft.com. It is unlikely they know your password. They have your email address on a spam database and just using your email address as the sender as well as the receiver. Nothing to worry about. Your emails are safe.

Thanks, I had a feeling that was possible but wasn't sure.
