    Ridley Wolf is correct, there have been some bots trying to hijack accounts to use to spam with I presume. The tricky part is that they are constantly changing their IPs. I will ban this one, but they are quite persistent.

    To be safe, if you get an email such as this, be sure to change your password, and remember never to give it to anyone.

    I too got a message regarding this, so please disregard any future activity in the future. Thank you.
