  Hi,
  Received an email to confirm I wanted to signup a WordPress account with my domain name but that was not me. How do I get whatever someone is trying to do deleted? I can’t find anyway to contact WordPress directly.

  As long you don’t confirm, nothings happens. I noticed this account is only 25 minutes and has no website created yet. Are you sure you this e-mail came from wordpress.com and it concerns a wordpress.com domain?

  Hi mwood7206,

  Received an email to confirm I wanted to signup a WordPress account with my domain name but that was not me.

  I’ve checked your mwood7206 account and other than the welcome email, notifications for this forum thread are the only other emails we have sent.

  Can you confirm which email address it was sent to and which domain it was for? If you type the email address here normally (with no extra spaces or characters), it will be hidden from the public but visible to staff.

  Let’s go from there…

  Hi there,

  It looks like a bunch of your comments on this thread was marked as spam by our system. Also note the email address being hidden is intentional. That’s to protect your privacy, but staff can still see it on our end.

  We cannot discuss details regarding another account with you without verifying you actually are the owner of the email address in question, so I’ll follow up with you via email at that address.
