How is scammer mail coming from my own id

I'm so sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue. It's extremely frustrating and concerning when someone is using your personal information without your consent.

Scammers using your identity to send malicious emails or messages is a form of identity theft, and it's essential to take immediate action to protect your identity and prevent further misuse.

Here are some steps you can take to address this issue:

  1. Report the incident to the relevant authorities:
    • File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at reportfraud.ftc.gov.
    • Contact your local police department or the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at www.ic3.gov.
  2. Notify your email provider:
    • Reach out to your email provider's customer support and report the issue. They may be able to help you identify the source of the scam emails and take action to prevent further misuse.
  3. Change your passwords:
    • Immediately change your email password and any other passwords associated with your online accounts.
    • Use a strong and unique password for each account.
  4. Monitor your accounts:
    • Keep a close eye on your email accounts, bank statements, and credit reports for any suspicious activity.
    • Set up alerts and notifications to notify you of any changes or unusual activity.
  5. Consider a password manager:
    • A password manager can help you generate and store unique, complex passwords for each account.
    • This can help prevent password reuse and reduce the risk of identity theft.
  6. Be cautious with personal information:
    • Be mindful of the information you share online, and avoid sharing sensitive information like passwords, credit card numbers, or social security numbers.
    • Be wary of phishing emails or messages that ask for personal information.
  7. Consider a credit freeze:
    • A credit freeze can help prevent scammers from opening new accounts in your name.
    • You can place a freeze on your credit reports with the three major credit reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.

Remember to stay vigilant and proactive in protecting your identity. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask!
