Scam emails?

On the 16th (four days ago) I got a welcome email from MyCloud. The first line was “Hi gggg”. I don’t own a Western Digital MyCloud device and never signed up on the site.

I ignored it but tonight I got a “Please change your password immediately” email. I reset the password but the reply again referred to me as “gggg”.

Don’t know if I should be worried. Probably my email address is on one of the many database leaks around the internet and someone/something used it to sign up for an account.

I tried to contact WD support but there’s not really an appropriate category. Maybe I should just continue ignoring these emails?

Sounds like phishing … and if you “reset a password”, then you took the bait

You should have just ignored it and done nothing.

I received the following email and was wondering if it is real or a scam. Please help.

has anyone noticed any new types of scam emails going around? Scammers always seem to change tactics, and it’d be helpful to know what to watch out for. Also, has anyone reported these emails directly to WD or another authority? Wondering if reporting them actually helps reduce the problem

Spammers warning about sneaky scammers, that’s great.
