Possible spammers &/or Spambots following my blog
-
Hello,
Over the past couple of days I have been getting email alerts for new subscribers to my blog, https://analienparisienne.wordpress.com/ They have email addresses like:
(email visible only to moderators and staff)
(email visible only to moderators and staff)
(email visible only to moderators and staff)
(email visible only to moderators and staff)
(These four all came in within an hour today.)
and
(email visible only to moderators and staff)
(email visible only to moderators and staff)
(email visible only to moderators and staff)
(These three were from 3-4 am Mountain Daylight Time today.)
and the first one I received of this series:
(email visible only to moderators and staff)on the afternoon of June 20.
I want to alert someone at WordPress and have these followers removed as I know they are not legit. Does anyone know how to do so?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I tried to log in with the blog address in question, but it linked to my other blog instead. I also note that it redacted the emails.
They look like this without the spaces: 30337 grabski @ pjbals . co .pl
All of the emails are from the @pjbals . co.pl domain.

Here’s a screen shot at Imgur of what I think are the non-legit subscribers: vhttp://imgur.com/wSEu46C

I just noticed there are even more than in that screen shot, beginning 7 days ago:
