Suspect phishing email

LUCKYDUG23
Level 2

Recently received an email from what appears to be my own email address entitled 'Waiting for payment'. Didn't open it just spammed it. It read in the subject section that, as it appears, it was sent from my own account and that the hacker has full access to my email account. Could this be the case, should I change passwords etc? There doesn't appear to be anything in the sent folder.Lates know what action needs to be taken if any..

Regards P J
