Hi @Bull88,

 

Thank you for posting, and welcome to the community as a new member!

 

I'm sorry to hear that you're receiving those emails. I can see why you're concerned. It sounds like someone is indeed trying to access your account by changing the password. It could be someone trying to get into your account, or it could be something as innocent as a person with a similar email address who is mistyping their login information.

 

If you have concerns about the safety of your login credentials, you can change your password. If this is something that happens habitually, you may want to consider changing the email address that your account uses by adding a new one and removing the old one. That way, anyone who has your old information will not have the option to even attempt to change the password.

 

I hope this helps!
