Most of this stuff comes from people's email which has been hacked. The contacts are copied and sent all kinds of stuff.
Do you know the sender? Never open an email from someone you do not know. Delete it immediately, before opening.
If you do not know the sender but reply back, they now have confirmation that yours is a working email address.
If you do know the sender, advise them their email has been ompromised.
And as much as I know this stuff (I work with computers for a living) I myself was caught with a bogus e mail sent from one of my son's old email addresses, which he no longer uses.
Also: The moderators advise you NOT to put perosnal information in your posts for the world to see.
