    its my email header its scam or not. from and send email are same

    Shakil Ur Rehman1,

    If the email text is anything like the others displayed in posts here, it's a scam, that simple. Bitcoin or similar cryptocurrency scams telling you they have access to your computer are always a scam.

    oner.miles was simply trying to tell people why their own email address displayed in the email's 'From' address is easily faked and just plain not true, which is another sure sign of a faked spam or scam message.

    Based on your header above, it appears this email was originally sent from an IP address rather than a named email server, so I also suspect it would have ended up in your Junk Email or Spam folder, which is even another sure sign that a message is fake, so in no case would I believe a single word it states.

    See my post immediately after oner.mile's to learn more about how the email 'Spoofing' is done, since faking the 'From' email address is quite easy for knowledgeable people as I explained there.

    Rob

    I got this same exact email and I was hacked so I had to rest my password and this message was sent to my junk email using my own email. If you look at your sent history I didn’t email myself

    Translations done using Microsoft Translator

    I have received the same email and from my OWN EMAIL.

    How is this possible? I also have double security on my account.

    Please Microsoft clarify this.

    Pablo Santiago Martinez,

    En lugar de repetir lo que ya he escrito, deberías aprender a usar el Traductor de Microsoft o lo que sea que te proporcione el navegador que estás utilizando.

    Con el navegador Microsoft Edge, puede resaltar todo el texto de una publicación y luego hacer clic con el botón derecho, seleccionar los tres puntos "... Más acciones: y luego "Traducir la selección a 'su idioma'".

    En este hilo, regrese a la primera página haciendo clic en Anterior o 1 justo debajo de la palabra Respuestas después de la primera publicación anterior.

    A mitad de esa primera página, publiqué una gran respuesta que explica completamente cómo los estafadores "falsifican" o falsifican su propia dirección de correo electrónico y proporcionan enlaces a artículos en inglés que puede traducir usando la misma opción de traductor si esos sitios aún no lo proporcionan ellos mismos.

    Robar

    Translation of response:

    Rather than repeat what I've already written, you should learn how to use the Microsoft Translator or whatever the browser you're using provides.

    With Microsoft Edge browser, you can highlight all of the text in a post and then right-click it, select the Three Dots "... More Actions: and then "Translate Selection to 'your language'".

    In this thread, go back to the first page by clicking either Previous or 1 just below the word Replies after the first post above.

    Part way down that first page, I posted I large reply that fully explains how the scammers 'spoof' or fake your own email address and provide links to English articles that you can translate using the same translator option if those sites don't already provide this themselves.
