@Eric2023

They are fake scam emails that are designed to get access to your device. If you keep receiving them then you need to keep reporting these as spam so they get deleted from your inbox.

@Eric2023

It's strange you decided to re-open a 6 month old thread, but yes, they are scams trying to get access to your account.

As @caesarome says, just mark them as spam, and move on

That is a scam as well, if you hover over the link you will see it goes to a Google Docs website !

Mark as spam and do the same should you receive anymore like this.
