Dodgy emails?

Hello dears :D

Me and my OH have recently started receiving emails which are being sent from my email adress, which is with Yahoo. As I didn't send them, they're obviously dodgy so we simply delete them straight away without looking at them.

Is there anything I/we can do about them, other than binning them?

Thanks in advance.

    Although most of the times it's someone else who sends these emails, you should check your PC with Malwarebytes.

    If you use a web bowser to access your e-mails at Yahoo, are the emails in your sent folder ?, if so change your password for a start.
