  Hi there,

  It sounds like these followers are actually spam emails. They want you to reply to the email itself, as it would give them access to your email address so they can try to spam or hack it directly.

  It seems to be a recently hot issue, and staff has noted in other threads that they are working on blocking these spam follows, but for now the best thing to do is to just ignore them and not try and email them.

  Hope this helps!

  I am getting the same emails however mine are NOT spam. The people often have their own blogs or pages which I can click and view. I get several of these every day, but I’m not seeing where they are showing up anywhere on my admin page. Where do I look?

  We are fully aware of the spam follower issue that is affecting many of our users. Are they from @outlook.com? If so, we are steadily removing that spam from your accounts and I want to reassure you that there is no danger for your sites, your content, or your accounts.
