Mit eigener Emailadresse angeschrieben?

Ich bekam vor einiger Zeit eine obszöne Email von meiner eigenen Emailadresse. Der Betrüger behauptete, mein System komplett zu kontrollieren. Er drohte damit Fotos oder Videos von mir, aufgenommen mit meiner Webcam, zu veröffentlichen, wenn ich nicht binnen 2 Tagen 2000 Bitcoins an ihn zahle.

Das habe ich natürlich nicht gemacht und passiert ist auch nichts.

Nur wie kann er mit meiner eigenen Emailadresse mir schreiben?

No panic: e-mail addresses can easily be falsified for lay eyes.
Ignore and is good.

…and don’t pay the over 77,000 euros – if you have the money at all.

Just how can he write to me with my own email address?

You ask the question as to how it is possible to label a envelope with a different sender address than your own.
Answer in both cases: Yes, goes – even very simple. 😉

Emails can be very easily faken.

Forget it, scammers try it again and again but just bluff

Just let all headers show you and watch the envelope addresses.

There is a difference between the address used at protocol level and the one intended for the mail client.
