Hi, they are just spammers sending you messages in the hope that you would
reply. If you change the password, that will not stop these messages from
infiltrating your inbox. To put it more correctly, no one has your password
or have access to your inbox, its just spammers sending you messages in the
hope that you would reply, letting them know that your address is valid to
send you more spam.
You could delete the account if you like, but not sure how its being done
since I've never had cause to do so.
Perhaps someone from this knowledgeable group will be of more assistance
than me.

Subject: [AI] Deleting a GMail account
Hello all,
It appears that my GMail account has been hacked. I see messages sent to
this account which indicate that I have been hired by an IT firm in
Bangalore. I see messages inviting me to team meetings and asking me to
process resumes. Strangely though, the password still remains the same.
This does not impact me as I do not use it as my primary account. Still, I
would like to delete this account. Is it possible to delete this account?
Will my account be safe if I just change the password? I had not checked
mail sent to this account for six months. The hacking appears to have
stopped in March. Does this mean that Google introduced measures that made
it difficult for hackers to access accounts?
Thanks,
Geetha
