How do I stop the "here is your e-mail password" , that shows up in my e-maill/?

Question

I keep getting "here is your password that u reqested, as many as a hundred a day. How did this get started and how do I stop it. Today I also got a message say "your loan request has been approved. I did not request for a loan. Has my e-maill address and/ or password been compromised. If so, how do I get it cleared up?

Answer 1

First, change your password. If someone does have access to your account, that will lock them out.

The next "password" email you get, mark as Spam. Then they will no longer come to you. Same with the load request (but that just sounds like regular spam - get those everyday).

If you still are getting buried, abandon the account and create a new one.

Answer 2

somebody must have used your email address as an "alternate email" and they have locked themselves out of their own account so they keep clicking the "Forgot password" link and that server keeps sending it to your account. Some solutions

1 Find out who it is and give them the password in the email so they will stop. (impracticle)

2. Mark it as spam (some will get through)

3.Filter them to the Trash (The Best solution I know)

If the password in the email is not your password, don't worry about it.

Answer 3

first off whos email address is not compermised. The password (if it never changes, could be the work of someone with a grudge), try changing your password and see if it gets changed back to what it was before then you will know if someone is messing with you

Answer 4

ignore it, it's a phishing email. they try to get a response from you to validate your email address so they know it's a live one.
just keep marking it as spam.
