I think my email has been used by a spam company. How do I fix it?

I was checking the yahoo mail and I noticed a post from my email address from a med supply company. I never posted it. I need help contacting someone to help me fix it but the yahoo sight was not very helpful in providing answers, any one else had this problem?

It sounds like you've been "spoofed".





Spoofing is the "forgery" of an address, to hide the identity of the sender, and is usually done by an Automatic Spamming system, that blindly and randomly, runs through addresses in sequence.


It's not actually coming from or thru your account.


One type that's called "Self Spamming"--(go figure)--appears to be coming "from" and going "to" the same address.





Anti-spam experts say----At this time, there's nothing you can do, except delete them. They are a nuisance, but harmless and don't last long.


Don't spam them--you'd only be spamming your own address.
