Spam email with no email just name -- How do they do this?

[Deleted member 2029348]

Today, I received a strange spam email in my Hotmail inbox. What made it stand out was that the email had no actual email address attached, just a name. When I tried to reply, I couldn't because there was no address to respond to. Typically, I’ve noticed that most spammers send emails from Gmail addresses, which usually get filtered into the spam folder on Hotmail. But this one was different. Does anyone know what might be going on here or how to do this kind of email?

Email clients allow the sender to customize the "From" name and email address. Spammers often exploit this by leaving the email address blank or creating fake addresses.

There might be some services that allow users to send emails without revealing their identity, which can result in emails appearing to have no sender.

Just delete without clicking any links, since these no sender mails used by spammers / hacker's.

Just download the mail as eml format, open the eml file with a txt editor, search the From field in the email header,
