Hey everyone! I hope I'm posting in the right spot. I've been facing a weird issue with my Samsung S24. I'm receiving notifications from Google saying that I've sent emails to undeliverable addresses, but I haven't sent or forwarded any of those emails. It's a bit concerning because I wonder if my phone might have a virus. I've tried several free antivirus apps without finding anything, and I even factory reset my phone, but the problem hasn't gone away. I also changed my Gmail password, but that didn't help either. Just so you have a clearer picture, these undeliverable emails are addressed to some variations of my email (like [email protected] instead of my actual address). If you want to see what the emails look like, here's a link to some screenshots: https://imgur.com/VtA1970. Any advice on what might be going on? Thanks a lot!

Honestly, it's pretty common these days to get issues like this. If you've already reset your phone and changed your password, it might just be that your email is caught in some spam loop. Make sure to regularly check your spam folder too. You could also look into your email settings, sometimes there could be a forwarding rule or filter set up without you realizing. Keep an eye out for any unusual activity in your Google account.
It sounds like your email might be getting spoofed. That means someone could be sending emails pretending to be you, which is why you're getting those undeliverable notices. It's not uncommon for spammers to use someone else's email address. You might want to check your sent folder to see if there are any emails you didn't write. Also, make sure you have two-factor authentication enabled on your Gmail account for added security.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll definitely check those settings and see if there's anything unusual.
