How do Istop someone from sending email with my email address that I did not send?
You don't really stop it. They haven't hacked your account. It's just a trick used by spammers to get your attention, so that you will open the emails and possibly buy their service or product. It hasn't hurt your account, nor has your account been compromised in anyway. Unfortunately you can report these emails as spam as you'd be blocking your own address. All you can do is delete the emails. They will stop eventually... until some other spammer does it. They are annoying, but harmless.
Reply:Change your password, contact your ISP and realize that spammers will spoof your email address without much you can do about it. Don't use your main email for anything that you sign up for. Get a yahoo free email and use it for signing for up boards etc on the net.
Reply:Contact your Internet provider, they can help you with that.
Reply:change password ryt away.
