How the hell can that happen?
Checked my email this morning and there was a message in my inbox from me to me! lol
Last time I checked, *I* didn't need viagara, and last time I checked memario didn't need any either .
How do I get an email like this with MY address?

I get them too, usually for penis enlargement treatments addressed from me, to me. Then I check the properties of the email, then the real address shows.
It's pretty easy to forge the to/from/reply addresses in any e-mail. Spammers take advantage of that to get mail through some simpler spam filters. To see where the message really came from, look for the "message details" or "Internet headers". They will show you what servers the spammers used to send the offending message. :)
Yep, the "from" is just a tag that can be edited, it actually means nothing....
Thats something I didn't know. Thanks.
You really should stop doing that to yourself.
Thanks for the explanation guys! I'll check out the properties for the real email addy. Just had never seen that before!

I know Hermano, I mean if I was going to do that it should be for someting I could use, like breast augmentation or something. Oh wait, I don't need that either! BB
BB,
Spamming yourself can get real messy, but it is kind of kinky!

It is a web bot..if you belong to www.facebook.com or www.ringo.com somehow it gets into your e mail address book and contacts all of your friends and you. That has happened to me and my friends. I deleted myself from those web sites.
Be prepared for an unending stream of lawsuits from yourself against yourself for harassment and other nuisance charges. You'll need lots of insurance to defend yourself but you may be able to save some money by hiring twin attorneys.
Good luck!
