Weird Email happenings...

[SimonTheSailor]

If I receive a response to an email that goes into my junk folder, I then get a spam email for something that makes it look like the other person ?
Picture attached for clarity. I just sent a police report in and got an auto reply from them , then another email afterwards........



Must mean I have a virus ?

Or the police have a virus

Can you see the headers of those emails? In Gmail click the little down arrow next to "to me"
This will show where it was sent from.

Pop your email in here (it's safe) and see if it's been compromised.

If so, consider changing passwords etc.

No, can't see who it came from, they do something clever so it only says 'Argos Confirmation' in bold and you can't open it up. (This is in Hotmail).

I think most people will have an entry in there.

It tells me mine has been breached 16 times. Most of them are from years ago, and others, I've never ever heard of the sites in question.

I've have to wonder about the accuracy of their information.
