Alright, i get these emails periodically from Apple. But today i've gotten two within the span of 10 hours. What's going on ? Is someone trying to get into my account ? What happens if they do ?
Do any of you .Mac/MobileMe members get this email ?

I don't see if for my .Mac/MobileMe but I have a pretty uncommon account/email address so it's unlikely someone will confuse their user name with mine. However, I see it all the time on my Gmail account as it's far more common. Is your user name someone someone would likely confuse with their own?

I am not a .mac customer but I got one again yesterday about 6pm CST
It seems to happen every couple and every time i get two or three of them in a few day's time.
The email address and user name are not all that common so I doubt anyone confuses them with their own.

Well i dont know if my chosen username is common or not (hint: it has an 'underscore' in it). It happens a couple of times, and then it doesnt for a few months, then again a couple of times, etc....

Are you sure you're not getting phishing attempts?

Go to the password reset page and reload your widgets. Then insert a new sproket.

It happens almost weekly on my youtube account. I also get offers all the time from people that want to buy my youtube account name.
