By now every single email user with an email address that has been exposed to the internet has received untold amounts of spam emails with their own address spoofed as the sender. The only question is if they've ever noticed it.
- duiker101 8y agoProbably not, if they use any decent email provider 99% of spam gets correctly filtered and you never really see it unless you look in the spam folder, which most people don't anyway. Also, I don't think I ever received an email with the sender as one of my email addresses.
- hopler 8y agoNot really. I get a steady stream of replies to me from ignorant users who reply to "Joe job" spam, as do everyone I know. It's the most common way someone thinks "I've been hacked" when they get the fallout from one of these "Joe jobs"
