games I never agreed to start are showing up with a move already made

How do I disable total strangers starting games where the first move is already made and I never received an offer to start the game?
I don't see any games you're playing with that. Can you link a specific game? It would also help if you contacted support.

Sorry I thought this was the Help and Support forum. How should I be reporting Help and Support topics? I can't link any games because my only option when they happen is to abort them, so they don't count, so they aren't on my games list. Still I would think the database should also contain aborted games, no?
It's happened to me, too. I accidentally joined a tournament where everybody's games started with a really bad opening. I resigned both games and just quit.
It's very annoying.

I agree. Chess.com should ban such tournaments.
One of my friends, too, had a daily game show up when they hadn't joined any tournaments or team matches, challenged anyone, sent out any open challenges, or even received a challenge. They just suddenly had a game that had already started, with a random user.
There are tournaments that start with a book opening, you can usually tell beforehand from the information about the tournament. You can also send or receive challenges which start with a book opening. I think that is a different issue
it happened to me too I just got into chess.com and I found 4 games that was my turn and when I went into it it said methulas children Evans gambit. I play the Evans gambit but I didn't agree to any daily challenges so i ended up resigning 2 games and i am currently playing those other 2 games. I dont know what happened
