Something suspicious?

Got a couple of emails purporting to be from Rich Madder and one from Mark Jarvis, saying sign up to kriegsspiel.forumotion.net
First up it said 'unusual activity' had been detected on my account and I needed to sign in again, which I declined to do. I signed on here via my usual route with no problem. Going back to the email, my security sytem said there was some sort of attack associated with the address, which it had stopped.
Anyone any idea what may be going on?
Are any of these genuine - the content looked real - lists of the games etc - but something odd seemed to be going on.

Hi Guy, I sent out two e-mails today (one from this forum and one from the club website) about the games for 2013. Perhaps your system thought they were dodgy? The content of e-mail is pasted below: -

Thanks for that.
It appears to be the same thing - no idea why my system lit up and said 'tilt'.
But it did - so I thought I'd check - thanks for putting my mind at rest.

NP I do not like blasting out e-mails to everyone too often but once a year to remind people of the forth coming events seems fair enough. I might not bother with the Web site and keep it just to forum members in future as the E-mail Announcement is a bit easier to use.

Anyway glad you got them and it might prompt others to see if they can come along to an event or two...
