I think what you got is a mailer virus, never experienced it before but I had a friend who caught it once and he ended up emailing everyone in his contact informing them that the email they received with a malicious link or code did not come from him. It's a terrible thing, the virus or whatever it is goes to your contacts and starts sending emails to them,really weird , I suggest you update your antivirus and run a full system scan on safe mode, good luck

It is sure a scam and a phishing site!
Do not open those creepy links because they will sure ruin your accounts and your PC.
Honestly i never experienced things like that but i always get SPAM MAILS.
And whenever i encounter one i just delete it instantly.
They used your account maybe because they have discover your password?
My best tip to do now is to not open those links.delete those mails and most of all changing your email`s password for your own protection and privacy. :)

You really need to change your password as quickly as possible because not enough with that, this spammer is going to use all your contact emails address to send the same thing to their contacts as well. Your email is obviously being hacked by the person. I hope you can this solved, good luck and have a nice day

You should show to your bfriend the unfamiliar in your mail to explain him. Then, you should deleted all them and scan virus in your computer with the best virus scan system. Good luck!

It ever happened to me too. I don't think it is a password thing. After I clear the cache, so far it hasn't happen...don't know if it ever will again. hopefully not.
Do explain to your bf, and share the picture in here with him to explain your innocence.

You're email account has probably been compromised. Did you use it in a public internet cafe? I don't know how to stop it as I'm no technician, but it would be a good idea right now to change your email password. And change it in a safe computer like your home computer. Also, don't open the website or any attachments. These things are very rampant these days.

They are confirmed scams. Sometimes, if you see any unfamiliar sites with content that interest you and asks you to give them your email, don't do so as they'll sell your email to other scammers and phishers, and some even send viruses to it.
