I have received a handful of Junk emails that appear to be sent to me by myself. The sender has my own name in all caps. When I right-click on the sender it shows me the real sender but for some reason the Mail app is labelling the sender as myself. Any ideas why this happening and any suggestions how to fix this?
Hey there henryfrombrea,
It sounds like you are receiving a number of phishing emails, where the sender has set up the email to appear as if it has come from you. The guide below will help you properly identify, avoid, and report such scams.

Have a good one!
Hi henryfrombrea,
While we're not able to answer those new questions, we wanted to still point out the steps from the previous message are the right ones to take next for phishing email.
In addition, if you'd like to block a contact, here are the steps to do this: Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Cheers!
Hi Chris_C1, thanks for the reply. I'm not trying to sound disrespectful but I realize that is some type of Phishing or Scam but what I am trying to figure out is "Why does iCloud think that the e-mail originated from myself?" Look at the header from my screenshot. It looks like iCloud thinks that I sent the e-mail but I clearly didn't send it. Even the Avatar has my initials "HL". I can't explain it.
