And after giving it a little thought, I have exposed a few e-mail addresses to members of the forum in the past, whether through deals or by becoming acquaintances with those members.  I'm wondering if one of those people thought I used whatever e-mail they had as my forum e-mail....and that's a frightening thought.
Maybe, I think your guess is right, maybe someone is trying to get into your account, via Email as I saw in the past.



They might try to tamper with the above email to get into your account, Looks like the hacker has failed, because it's not your real email.



Or maybe it's your fault, as you post below, in the past.

I don't think the .com domain is a phishing site or something scam
I hope not, because one time I logged into that site with my .org password by accident--and it was stupid, I admit, but for a second I thought the new forum software had been launched (I'd just woken up, that's my excuse).  Right after realizing my mistake I quickly logged on to the right forum and changed my password, but it scared the crap out of me for a few minutes.

Who knows the phishing site is trying to take advantage of the email and password you registered at that time, now they are just trying to enter, Topic: The .com forum.
