Getting all TFS 2012 Alerts

Question

I am a TFS Administrator and have created Team Alerts to send an alert when a work item is assigned to someone on the team. The alert I created is below:

Team Project = Team Name
AND Assigned To Changes To [ME]
AND Authorized As <> [ME]

The issue is that I get an alert when anyone on the team creates or changes a work item. In this example, I am not the assignee for any of these work items but still get alerts. I would expect only the person who is listed as the assignee should receive the alert. We are using TFS 2012. I am getting a lot of alerts each day (like 400) since we have many teams and need to get this issue resolved.

Any ideas on the issue?

So does your alert look like this?

Note the send to Text box
