Has anyone been having some strange things happen with YA?

I’ve been having weird stuff happen lately with YA. A few days ago I posted a question and then chose a best answer later that day then all of a sudden I started getting very formal emails with late answers to my question. By formal I mean they are kind of worded like the emails you get saying that you have won some lottery or something. I tried responding to one (using the link within the email) and I got a delivery failure notice. Also in the past two days I had 5 people “connect” with me and these were all people who were level 1…they didn’t have any questions and no answers yet. I’ve already disabled email and everything like that on my account which I hated doing because I enjoy all of the “YA experience”. I was wondering if I am being too paranoid about all this or if anyone else is having the same kind of thing happening to them as well.

Thanks in advance.
