I still find it very difficult to understand how these crooks work. They use my email address to send mails to another mail of mine.the mail they send to does not even contain any of my names and I wonder how they manage to link it to me.The scary thing is they use my e-mail address. 'They' then write like its a friend of mine who just checked out a websitewith loads of affordable stuff to sell and that I should visit the said website as well(zol-jp.com).
What also scares me is that this e-mail carries the name as well as e-mail addresses of everybody in my contact both family and friends (All of them!).
I refer to them as crooks as only crooks would be able to do such(use my email address to send mails out). I'm worried all my friends will start avoiding me thinking I'm a fraud now. Does any body know how this scam operates please and what can I do to stop this. I know they already have access to my e-mail
