Bots hitting my account?

For hours now, I've been getting emails saying someone is trying to log onto my account here? Is anyone else getting this? Here's what's really odd, the email I receive, shown below, the IP address is my home address.
I've already logged on and changed the password, but I'm continuing to get these. Any tips, thoughts? If it's easier to delete this account, could someone point me in that direction.

The emails seem legit, just peaked at the header. Here's one piece if this helps. Message-ID: <20121026224346.f060799102eb@androidforums.com>

Thank you.

Here's the emails I'm getting:
"Someone has tried to log into your account on Android Forums with an incorrect password at least 5 times. This person has been prevented from attempting to login to your account for the next 15 minutes.

The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: (deleted)

All the best,
Android Forums"
 
Did you change your password lately? That's the common error message when Tapatalk or the forum app is trying to sync with the forum after a password change.
 
Yes, changed the password about 45 minutes after receiving about 3-4 emails. Then, started getting them again about 1 hour later.

I don't have the app nor use Tapatalk. Could just be a hiccup in the system.

Thanks both for the quick replies. I'll just wait and see.
