Email Fraud

I recently received a bounced email on my gmail account. It would appear some body at this IP-address (192.83.180.224) attempted to send an email as me to jobs@selabs.com. that IP-address is in the range 192.83.180.* registered to "Ministry of Education Computer Center, Taipei Taiwan" There is a middle man (87.98.235.52) which is ovh.net a polish web hosting company located in France.

I'm actually kind of flattered that somebody from taiwan's ministry of education wanted to send email as me. But I do not appear to have any apparent relevant skills for the company selabs.com. This is very odd. I should ask my taiwaneese roommate if he's playing a prank on me, or if I should ask friends at gmail how serious this is to my online identity?
