    I have also been getting these emails over the past 2 months in my junk folder. Changed my password several times and added two-step verification for an extra layer of protection. I have been suspicious it was a fake and never attempted to respond, or click any links in the message. However when I checked sign in activity recently there was an attempted login that apparently failed from Russia.

    These are the details of the attempt to log into my account.
