I have gotten two strange emails. One from TikTok's legit domain (unless it's been faked) asking me to confirm setting up a TikTok shop, and one from DomainsByProxy asking me to confirm setting my Wordpress domain up in DomainsByProxy via TikTop shops. Both are clearly scams since I don't have a TikTok or TikTok shop account, so I'm not replying to them or entering my code anywhere. But why would someone try to set up my email and domain as a TikTok Shop account?
