Spoofing

Anonymous
Not applicable

It appears that my email address may have been spoofed.  I have received lots of Mail Delivery Service emails saying that emails weren't delivered to accounts I have never heard of.

 

I have AVG, MalwareBytes, Adaware, SpyBot search and destroy and Zone Alarm installed on my PC so I am confident that my PC has not been hacked.  However, at the time of receiving the Mail Delivery emails I did receive a spoofed email and the name was someone I know (the email address was very stange).

 

I contacted O2 customer support and they said they were unfamilar with the term "spoofing", so there was nothing they could do.  What shall I do? change my email address perhaps?

Don't know, I don't use O2's email.
I believe you can get a second box though.

perksie +1 Kudos.  There is no evidence that my Facebook account was hacked? I use the email address in question to login to Facebook but it is hidden from my timeline.  My Facebook password is good (well I thought).

 

Is it possible to change an O2 email address?
