It does not matter what the shows up in your email client. The headers including FROM: can be completely made up to look like the came from ANYONE.

but on some email clients you can hold the cursor over the senders name and it will show you the email address, I have my own domain so all emails that come to me I use the method I stated, I also can do the same on a yahoo email account that I have, if the email address is one I don't recognize or has fr or it or something else at the end of it I just click to delete and NEVER open an email from someone you don't know with an attachment
if you are using social media (facebook) watch out for spammers who post about great deals on IPads etc, FB catches most of these before they come through but every once in awhile they don't, also on FB before you friend someone check out who else you know, lots of trolls on FB, same think with events you are invited to
btw the villages has a FB like page, lots of info but not as well defined as what I read here
just my opinion, taught it to school teachers was a tech teacher
