I am receiving look-alike mailer-daemon emails that say "sorry it didn't work out" "your email couldn't be delivered" "no such email" and I have saved over 300 of these type of emails. The only thing is I never sent any emails to anyone to warrant an undeliverable message. I've heard that your not supposed to click on the link within the text of the email and I never did. Each and every single of these more than (300) emails I continue to get, even now as I write this there is probably 20 more. I never never never have been interested in Hoodialife or losing weight by taking pills but that's where they are coming from apparently. I independently went to hoodialife to opt out of emails but that doesn't stop them. I contacted my email management about this (spam) but haven't heard from them yet. My emails are already filtered from receiving spam and I blocked these mailer-daemon emails but they still keep coming. I can't believe that the scam artists have figured a way to phish by using look-alike postmaster emails which look authentic. Anyone have this problem and can anyone advise on how to be rid or these unwanted emails. I'm just wondering about what you did about it. Thank you in advance if anyone knows about this your comments will be appreciated.

I get that sometimes and I wondered how that happened. I know that I didnt send it out and somehow it got to my email box saying this couldnt be die\levered blah blah blah, I thought for a monent that someone got into my emails I changed the passwords so many time and I still get that everynow and then. So now I started to deleted them and I know that I didt write to a such of a person.

I found out that what someone did was put my email address into the "from" field when sending emails and now the mailing-daemer postmasters have bounced emails back to me because they think I sent them. Maybe that's what happened to you. Changing your password doesn't hurt anyway but thank you for your response.

that can be done by email crawlers. probably captured by one of the sites you visited and gave your email. they are used by scammers and hackers to catch unsuspecting prey. your email address is used to mask the real source of the emails. c",)
