  Hi there,

  WordPress.com subscriptions are strictly opt-in only, in other words, if someone wants to receive email notifications about a post they need to sign up for it and confmit it through confirmation link which is send through email.

  If you don’t remember for signing up for such notification or confirming the invitation you can unsubscribe it.
  Follow this link to manage subscriptions:
  https://subscribe.wordpress.com

  Also check this : https://en.support.wordpress.com/following/

  Hope this helps.

  Nope did not subscribe. Maybe WordPress should check if it’s a phishing email?

  Hi there,

  Can you please give the exact URL of the site you’re receiving emails from? As well as the FROM address of the emails?

  Our logs don’t show any emails sent from our system to your email address in the past week, apart from notifications on this forum thread, so I don’t think the site you’re speaking of is hosted with us.
