Hey everyone! I just received an email from an NSFW website claiming that an account was created with my email, but I definitely didn't sign up for anything like that. The email mentioned that the account was created from an IP address in the Philippines. I marked it as spam and deleted it without clicking any links, but I'm really anxious about things like this and want to make sure my email isn't compromised. Any advice on how to handle this situation? Am I in the clear?

It sounds like they tried to use your email, but it doesn't mean there's any real threat. You did the right thing by reporting it and not clicking on any links. Just keep an eye on your accounts and don’t overthink it! You're likely safe.
Thanks for the reassurance! I almost clicked the link, but luckily my phone prompted me to choose a browser first, so I didn’t actually open anything. That really eased my mind!
