Ah, sorry my message might not have been clear :)

There are several emails in OTRS from* other people* asking about these
emails, having received them themselves (some claiming never to have had an
account on WP).

After research, and comments here, I'm certain this is a spam issue
originating from somewhere else, rather than something associated with us.

Cheers all.
