My friend group has been getting emails to each other with our name as the messenger but when you click the name it’s from spam looking addresses. What does this mean?

The links actually aren’t harmful. The one I got was a random article about megyn Kelly starting a cbd company

Someone has your email address list or one of your friends and is trying to trick y'all into clicking on a link or opening an attachment

Maybe. The best ones silently download malware on your computer. Hover over the link with your mouse without clicking and see what the URL is. Is it something shady looking or a legit website?
