Problem with supposedly bounced emails I've never sent. [View all]

I keep getting these Daemon messages about emails bouncing from addresses I've never heard of nor emailed. I know they are spam, but don't understand the purpose or how to get rid of them. Obviously, they are using my email addy. The following is what I get and I've found that if I wave the mouse over the addy, I get other addy's than Daemon. I don't open them nor click on a link. Can anyone explain what is going on?

What is the purpose? I don't understand why they would do this if no $$s were involved. I hope!!! Frustratedlady Apr 2020 #5

I haven't opened any until tonight when curiosity killed the cat. Frustratedlady Apr 2020 #7

It's a classic trick. If you respond in any way, they know a live human is on the other end. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2020 #11
I have not responded to any of them, nor have I opened any except a couple Daemons. Frustratedlady Apr 2020 #12
