Gmail support, please help, someone is spoofing my gmail to send spam

[Jim Barry]

Hi,

Someone is sending spam to thousands of people because I am getting thousands of angry messages in my email box. 

I don't think they are getting into my account, the password is multi character/numeral that is 20 characters long. As a precaution this morning I have changed my password again.

If someone is spoofing my email address, can Gmail Support help us in some way?

Thanks,

Jim

​Did you try asking him?

If he is not honest (if he is sending you spam), then you might not determine his location from his​ emails.  Spammers go to lengths to obscure their true identity.  If it is spam, it probably wasn't sent from a Gmail account; they probably "spoofed" the sender's address.

What would you do knowing his location?  If you are law enforcement, then you might have access to the tools to locate his location.  If you are not law enforcement, then tracking down the sender is not something you should ever attempt, if you value your own life.

When I signed up for a Gmail account, I do not recall Google asking where I lived.  Even if they did, in some countries it would be an invasion of privacy for Google to reveal that information to you without a court order or similar legal intervention.
