There are many good business reasons to send out batches of emails that contain different “FROM” email addresses. It is very easy to do using various scripting (programming) languages. During my professional career I have written hundreds of scripts to do just that.
To keep on the original topic, it is also very easy to mask originating phone numbers using scripts. Especially when the phone call, or part of it, is using VOIP.
Both of these techniques are part of Chapter One in SCAMMERS FOR DUMMIES.
As others have said if you suspect something that does not seem right with your email account immediately change your password.
