I own my domain (say, mydomain.com) and administer it through my hosting provider. A couple of days ago, I started receiving mail from Google Apps addressed to jyotioffsetjsm01@mydomain.com. There's no such email address set up on my domain, and I guess all badly addressed emails to my domain get sent to my admin email address.
The emails (from apps-noreply@google.com) all say things like:
"NotMyName, don't forget to add billing information for Google
Apps.... Your setup is almost complete - just one step remains."
Needless to say, I have not set up Google Apps on my domain. I'm concerned that someone has breached my account.
The support links in the Google email all ask me to login with my Google Apps account (which I obviously don't have). The alternative is to phone them, but that would incur overseas charges since I don't live in the US.
Should I be concerned? What should my next steps be? How can I access Google Apps support to let them know about this fake spammy attempt to get a Google Apps account on my domain?
