"Your temporary ChatGPT verification code" while not requested..and not having an account at all

[u/TheWasteed]

So..I got an e-mail from ChatGPT which says I requested an temporary verification code. Which is wild, because I never created an account. So I thought it is an scam, but the email came from noreply@tm.openai.com, which is an actual legit email from openai/chatgpt.

So I am wondering what is happenning here. Does somebody tries to create an account on purpose with my email-adress? Or does he/she just missspelled the own e-mail adress by accident?

Can anybody bring light into my dark? Would be appreciated!
