I received spam from my email id. Has someone got my password? Or did they make it appear to be from my id?

The mail is not from a friend who is playing games but from someone trying to sell (fake?) medicines.

They probably just used a website like http://fakesend.com to make it look like it was an email you sent yourself. I believe that there is a greater chance of you to open the mail if it shows your email address or your name as the sent from, because many people email themselves.

Reply:I get e-mails from my yahoo ID all the time. I just delete it as spam. I don't know how they do it, but no one has ever told me they get spam from me, so I don't worry about it. Interesting question, I'll keep an eye on this one.
