Check your pc for malware or viruses i recommend malwarebyte
But they have yet to gain access, correct?

Steam guard doing its job?

:qr:
Does the name after hello in the email fit your login name?
No I can't even read the name or anything....just the verification code and steam......it's all in Chinese....as well as the up address (out of China) when steam first emailed me about an attempt for login on my account from an up outside my area

And no they have not gained access like I said I changed password on steam and email changed. Im using mobile verification and verified my number and codes again yesterday so it was all up to date etc....

And no viruses/malware I run constant scans....
If the name in the email is chinese, it is not your login name. (If you do not have to type in chinese at login)

If it's not your username in the email it isn't an official Steam email. Official emails will address you using your username. As they are fake they're likely phishing emails. Check the address of them and if they are phishing they won't have correct addresses. Block them.
You've taken all precautions. Just have those emails filtered into your spam folder or deleted before you even see them. I don't know what email service you have.

While end user email clients will automatically fill the from header of email messages with your own address when you send them, the from header can contain anything. The from name guarantees nothing, never trust that an email "from" some address was actually sent from that mailbox.

Consider asking support if those mails are legit.

This is the text translated to english by google translate. I censored the account name a bit, but kept the first part so you can see if that's your account.
