How can a scammer send email to my VIP folder?

[Allan Kenig]

I received an email from a scammer and it went to my vip email. How can this happen?

Welcome.

Did they possibly spoof the email address of someone on your VIP list?

Welcome to Android Central! Does your email provider have some sort of "VIP folder" feature?

I use the email which was loaded on my s 10. It does have a vip folder. Can someone just send as vip?

 

[Allan Kenig]

I didn't have anyone in my vip list
