Hey ardmara, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Can you please send us a screenshot of the pop-up message you're getting, so we can have a visual of this?

 

Thanks in advance!

    No, I'm still getting the same message. When I click the 'get help' button, I get this (Then it has my google email beneath it and my work email, but I cropped them out for this share):
