I got this message from my friend.  It's his email address and everything but I'm pretty sure he didn't write it as he doesn't usually send me emails about products he's excited about that he wants me to sign up for.  Mostly just joke emails with horses farting and giraffes going at it.  I've gotten them for ipods and movie tickets.  Usually it's because my good friend signed me up at a website.  How do they trick my email like that?

Website dotted out to not violate CoC.  IM me if your dumb enough to want to go there.  

Hi!
My friend intrduced a company to me, That’s  a electronic products sales company, which is come from South Korea. I have bought  Apple 3GS (Bfrls) in that company and received my product just in 3 days. He is so kind. This is very exciting. They can accept PayPal payments. This means a good reputation. Products they sell: Apple 3GS.YAMAHA motorcycle. Liquid mirror TV. Notebooks ... etc. As I know they have the publicity recently(products have great discount).
His official website is:   www.*****.com

It might be a mailing list signup and that goads people to put in their friend's email addresses.  Or he could have some spyware/malware that is sending email out of his email program.

Malware/viruses will get on a person's computer.  It then reads the address book and sends out an e-mail to everyone in the address book.  It is amazing what a small program can do.

It's called spoofing.
