What happens when you get an email from yourself?
If you send yourself an email, you’re likely trying to remember something important and wouldn’t want that message labeled as Spam. So, scammers hope that by using your address, your spam filters won’t notice, and their message will go through.
Why do I get emails from myself that I didn’t send?

How to write a follow-up email

Can an email address be spoofed?
Email spoofing is possible due to the way email systems are designed. Outgoing messages are assigned a sender address by the client application; outgoing email servers have no way to tell whether the sender address is legitimate or spoofed. Unfortunately, not every email service has security protocols in place.
