Most likely mis-directed mail or junk mail, I doubt you've been hacked.

If you have no affiliation with Boost Mobile whatsoever, just delete the emails and put them on your block list.

Normally if someone access Gmail from a device you don't own it will notify you

Hi. I'm with @Edwin. It's email SPAM!

Curiously, do you even have Boost Mobile?

hi with your help, i blocked Boost Mobile from my gmail. i changed password, and disabled POP and IMAP in gmail settings.
i hope i am thru with this. Boost Mobile sent me a phone number. this must be a new scam. why would some body pay cash for service in my name? thank you all pothound

Hi,
Just because an email states something it doesn't mean anything was so called hacked

Just report to bank or credit card and confirm any recent charges
If none exist it's just spam and disregard it happens all the time to target old people to get them to take the bait.
