That's what it looked like and when I checked the last account activity, there were a few locations that made no sense: France and United States (DC).  Granted, I was using the email address via my cell phone, but obviously I wasn't in either location.

It seemed like something spam related was being sent out, but Google was blocking it and then put a block on my account until I verified it.  So perhaps the account was hacked for a bit, but then again, it might have been just something in my spam folder or something that caused this.

Situation is under control though, so no worries.  But I figured I'd let folks know in case they got spam from my address.
