Maybe, but it is more likely that someone is just putting your name and address 
in the header.

Subject: Caution: "Hacked" email caused the distribution of a potentially 
harmful attachment

Please be advised:

My email account was hacked while I was on vacation last week.  Generated from 
my email address were two variations of emails with subjects of "Proof of 
Payment" or "Receipt of Payment" each containing an "html" attachment.  If you 
receive either of these emails, please delete without opening the attachment.

Apparently, there are a number of variations of this "hack" being circulated 
with some type of reference to "payment" and/or "invoice"; please be cautious 
with any similar emails that you receive.

Regards,

Tony
