Does this mean that someone is trying to reset my password?!? I never requested for it to be changed and I keep getting those emails. The first one I got, I clicked the link and went and changed my password, then checked my mail again, and there was two more of those emails. I'm not sure what this is all about, anyone have any ideas?

Its a scam im sure..... Just report as spam.

Anyplace that would possibly ever send out an email asking to make changes wouldnt give a link. They would just ask that you goto your settings/preferences and do it yourself. But no one asks you to do that.

Yes, it sounds like someone is trying to reset your password. It is sending an email to you and not them, so as to keep them out. Basically just trying to determine that it's actually you trying to reset your password.
