Hundreds of the same spam email from "different senders"

This morning I awoke to hundreds of the same spam email from numerous "different senders", though many repeats. Each message had the same subject, but with a different number at the end, and the text inside appeared to be the same, though I didn't examine it with a fine tooth comb.

Has anyone ever seen this? Should I be worried?

A previous poster had something like this happen when the spammers/hackers were trying to distract them from an email message from their online bank saying that their email address is being changed (as the spammers/hackers are getting into it).

ETA: They became aware of the bank issue (i think the email address change) via a text from the bank.

I don't remember the solution... but perhaps change the password to your email account for starters.

(ETA: And bank account)

Here's the thread:

Thanks, sprout. These were all messages on "20 reasons why massage therapy has significant health benefits ", but the one truly suspicious message I got in the midst of all these was from "Wayfair.com", stating that my email address was changed to something unrecognizable, which I did not do.

I'm on the phone with Wayfair now, and sure enough, something was ordered in my name, and I can see it on my online Visa account. She is canceling it, but it's not clear if I only need to be worried about Wayfair being hacked, or everything else.

Technology is great, until it's not.

Might be time to contact your VISA provider and request a new account number.

Jasper -- Good luck!  

I'm glad you caught this issue... 

I hope you find where they are getting into your stuff, and how to lock them out.

Yes, Joan, thinking that's a good idea, too.

Thanks, again, sprout. I just changed my password on a number of other critical accounts, but man, it's hard to think of all the places where you've created accounts and stored passwords. I typically try not to store credit card account info, but sometimes don't even realize that I've done so.
