@nprofile1q... We're very sorry for the double trouble. :tony_sigh:
No, your email address is safe. The scammers only sent a chat message on the Vivaldi Forum and the forum's system sent you an email notifying about you having a new chat message, like it does when someone replies to your comment, starts following you, etc.
Notification preferences can be changed on

As for Akismet not allowing you to post, please send us a message using the contact form at the end of this article

Share your account details (username, recovery email) and briefly describe the issue, so we can help you out.
(For privacy and security reasons we don't provide that level of support on Vivaldi Social)
Again, apologies for the inconveniences.
