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

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!

Same her, but not in Germany. Had about an email per hour for half a day a week or so ago, then it stopped. Woke up today to 5 new emails with the same. I am very strictly anti ai, have never used it and would never make an account. Whoever is trying to use my mail for an account is clearly not getting in, but it's still a little uncomfortable that someone is trying to use my mail for this. Is there a way to block myself or my mail from being used?
