This is spoofed email, with you also being the recipient as far as I can tell... Am I missing anything else in this matter? If not, this isn't new. EDIT from below: "If I remember correctly, if you are the recipient of an email from "yourself" Google automatically puts it in the sent items label as well."

They are reporting the items in their sent items though...

  My guess is the sent folder is just a label where from-address matches one of your emails. Spoofing the inbox in the manner mentioned here will naturally also fool the sent folder.

No no! There's something going on here. These emails are in the sent email folder, and people who are definitely not compromised (long random passwords, 2fa, and checked the device login log from google are showing nothing.)

Read the thread before you comment! People are reporting these messages are in their sent mail folder! Now it's possible that gmail makes it looks like it was "sent mail" if it receives a message "from you" even if you didn't send it, but it's also possible that google has been hacked in a big way. And some of the people reporting this are knowledgeable people who know what spoofing is, and who have good unique passwords and two-factor enabled.

  I did read it before I commented. I just proved what I said below (before you commented). "If I remember correctly, if you are the recipient of an email from "yourself" Google automatically puts it in the sent items label as well." Google threw it in my Sent Items despite me not sending it from gmail itself.

    So you read the thread and then edited your statement to make you look like you read it! First class work.
