    I want to delete my account, I’m getting mail in Russian and do not speak it.

    We cannot do this for you: you have to act.

    Here’s how to deactivate your account:
    Although username accounts are not deleted, so you cannot be impersonated and have your reputation affected by anyone registering the same username in the future, there are steps you can take that amount to removing all personal information and result in leaving only a throwaway email address behind. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

    1. You can go to My Account->Edit Profile at https://wordpress.com/me/account and remove all data except the account name and an email address. Create a throwaway email address and change the account email to that throwaway address. This only leaves the username behind.

    2. To unsubscribe from email sent to you from WordPress.com, go here and click on “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com”:
    https://wordpress.com/settings/notifications/

    3. To ensure the account is locked up tightly, visit this site, generate a password of 15-20 characters, and change the account password to it:

    4. To hide your Gravatar profile, login and on the bottom right hand corner of your Gravatar profile page you will find a “hide” button visible only to you that you can click. http://en.gravatar.com/support/profile-privacy

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and/or blog content or making the site private does not remove indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results) and we cannot help with that. Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):

    Thanks, someone used my email address and sent me 1200 emails in about 15 minutes. Signing me up to all kinds of stuff.

    Hi @jimpres, do you have a different account? I don’t see a site on our servers.

    Supernovia, no site from me. But somehow WordPress was in some of the messages (emails). I have deleted most of my infor from here as suggested. Could not find the hide button.

    @jimpres I see. Hm. Well, I checked our logs for emails we’ve sent you and don’t see anything Russian. Do you want to post the mail headers to see if we can figure out where it’s coming from?

    Also if you’re getting any unwanted notifications from from our servers, you can manage that here:
    https://wordpress.com/me/notifications

    Or even block all subscription email from us here:
    https://wordpress.com/me/notifications/subscriptions

    Okay, yeah that is definitely not from us, it’s from “nicmail.ru” and we are not affiliated with them.They used the word WordPress in their address, it’s true, but probably just to make it seem more legitimate. I’d mark is spam in your mail program, and if you have further trouble, get in touch with your mail provider to see if this can be filtered. Good luck!
