The thing is I've used Gmail for nearly 10 years (give or take) - and I've never once had a spoofed email reach my inbox. Ever.
Something must have changed, most likely in the past 24 hours (give or take) to allow this to suddenly occur? Or someone's worked out a way passed the gmail spam filters or something.
I’ve used Gmail for longer and I’ve seen it a lot over the years. What’s most likely changed is the volume at which the spammers are doing it, so you finally started seeing some come your way.
