[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 109138, post: 1083450"] It's part of a spam campaign. Your email obviously is compromised from whatever places you have used it to register. Best course if action: First run a scan with an antivirus to make sure you are not indeed infected. After this follow the steps below to ensure you negate any more issue. 1. Create a new email account and transfer your other accounts over to it, meaning go into your other accounts and chance the email address associated with establishing the account. 2. Enable 2fa on the accounts after changing passwords as well. Changing any security questions associated with said accounts. 3: Notify people you know, have in contacts or converse with in these associated accounts. This way they are aware and can be observant just in case. [/QUOTE]
