  I get about 700 emails per day from (email visible only to moderators and staff), from various spam bloggers. Somehow my email was added to their lists. Perhaps sold to bloggers. How can I get my email erased from these bloggers? I don’t want to click on the links in the emails to unsubscribe, since that may be how they saw my email as active in the first place.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there!

  I can see your account is subscribed to almost 300 blogs through Reader. That means that it has been done through your WordPress.com account.

  You can manage those here:

  https://wordpress.com/following/manage

  If this was not you who subscribed to these, someone else might have accessed your account. I’d suggest you change your password to a strong one:

  Also, you should consider enabling the two-factor authentication, to increase the security of your account:
