I received a mail from [email protected] with a subject - PayPal Security Notification.
I can't log into Freepik with my Eyeem credentials, eyeem.com redirects to freepik.
I didn't join Freepik.
I did receive my payment when they acquired the site. I maybe had some small sales after, but this is strange.
Anyone received something similar. Did someone hacked my non existing account?

Received the same. Seems to be a glitch. I received nothing on paypal.

I hope we will get the money. (I've had more than 30 sales after the closure of Eyeem).
Are there only incompetent IT interns now?

EyeEm is closed, but the parter collections (Getty, Adobe) still exist and thus also can generate sales.
You probably passed the 10$ threshold, and the payout is triggered.

Feels off to have, apart from the mails, no possibility to monitor or control anything.

Mir

They confirmed that they are making the requests on behalf of users since we no longer have the ability to do so(can't log in and request payment).
I guess a little note to explain this would have avoided the confusion.

I received an EyeEm payment today.

It all became a mess, but the one thing that Freepik seems to do is keep paying contributors.
They paid overdue contributor commissions after the EyeEm bankruptcy, and they are still paying out the income from EyeEm partner collections.

I got the same message, but a few days later I got paid by them. A little over $2,-

I received a payment too. Last one I guess.
I liked EyeEm and Twenty20 back then.
