Just received this -

I have not been trying to log in. Is this a scammer at work??

Dear Pete Simmons,

Your account on Family Woodworking has been locked because someone has tried to log into the account with the wrong password more than 5 times. You will be able to attempt to log in again in another 15 minutes.

The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 174.36.199.200

Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Use the link below:

All the best,
Family Woodworking
 
It's possible it was a hacker, but with the lock-out feature it will probably deter them from continuing. It's also possible someone with the same name thought it was their account.

Let us know if you continue to receive those emails Pete. :wave:
 
Well, unless other users or Pete are continuing to receive the lock-out emails I'd say it was just a mistake by someone that thought it was their id or the hacker gave up quickly.
