Can you say "SPAM???"\n\nDON'T OPEN *ANYTHING* that you DON'T KNOW WHO or WHERE it CAME FROM!!! Does "STOCKS" ring a bell when you look at it?

This is because someone you know has a virus that is sending out tons of spam. It's a classic trick by malware to use a different return address than the account it really sent the spam from. \n\nUnless you are willing to poll everyone you know to see if they've scanned their machines recently, you are probably toast. Best you can do is set up a filter to remove those from your inbox.

The best way I address this is by the "do i know you" factor...If it's a friend's email address, then it's most likely not spam...the reason I say most likely and not "definitely" is because hackers can sometimes use lists of emails you've sent, and mimic them to act like they're your friends. Yahoo does a pretty good job with filtering these.  In general, just don't open anything from people you dont know.  If you know they and dont open it, they'll let you know you havent opened their email and they can resend it to you.

Send her an email and ask her.  She might have given you a fake address on purpose or by accident.

They're spam.  My guess is the trick is they wait for you to reply, wondering where the message went, and then they know that you have an active email address.

it sounds as if someone may have hacked into your account to send spam, or you have a virus on your computer that emails itself to everyone in your contacts.\n\nContact Yahoo customer service and find out what they are accusing you of.  If you can get into your account, change the password immediately in case someone hacked your password and do thorough virus scans (more that one) to clear your pc.   If you can prove you were hacked or infected, let Yahoo know with the details.

Don't worry, that always happens to me, but it still sends to the person. It actually doesn't only happen in Yahoo!, it happens in other places, but try to ignore it.

Is this a spam emails? Or a harrassing email that was sent to you?\n\nIf you look at your email program their should be a menu link for seeing detailed results of the sender. This will gie you what will appear to be a bunch of nonsense information however it isn't.   You should see a section with originating sender. Look for it and then do a domain search, who a whois search at network soloutions and email them  Getting a specific ip will be almost impossible unless they are set up with having sent it from an ip rather than a domain mask.

Not to Yahoo, unless you can determine that the source was a Yahoo account.  Send it instead to abuse@bankofamerica.com.  Many companies now have e-mail accounts named "abuse" or "spoof", to send such e-mails to.

you should report this to yahoo or whatever your internet provider is. ask them abou it, then change your email and everything. you should also warn your friends. the hacker might have taken their info too.

Yahoo doesn't have the man power to evaluate and act on every piece of bogus email; it's impossible. The best thing you can do is mark it as SPAM.

ingore the last retard that post you- it means you type the email address wrong or the person that gave you it gave you a fake.  - Read the address careful after you type it. then try sending again. \npeace .

Check your bulk/junk/spam box, sometimes emails get redirected. Send an email yourself asking if they have sent you one yet, they may not have.

Probably just a spammer.  Emails can be easily "spoofed" - this is, fake senders/subjects/dates can be sent out via SMTP very easily.  I'd just chuck it in the SPAM pile and not worry about it.  Don't even both opening them if you notice stuff like that.
