Unlikely.  As the message is UCE (which by contrast to spam *is* an 
abbreviation), and its content is probably even fraud, it is more likely 
that this is an intentional misuse of PHPMailer, or a misconfiguration of 
the MTA used by it, in a clumsy attempt to prevent the spam message from 
being recognized as coming from a suspicious host.  The underlying 
assumption would be that you do not filter out your own e-mails.
