Thanks for the info, guys. I'll flag their e-mail as spam as well, then.
Thank you for doing that. It seems coinbase is switching tactics now from their recent decision to align themselves (or even consider!) BitcoinXT.

I received 3 emails on 3 different email account. It seems they bought large bitcoin connected email database. I think its very unethical and for me they are dead site. I will never use them! With this spam i dont know what will they do with my other info if I use it!
yes it may be spam, do not easily believe things like that, sometimes they also offer many bitcoin by including identity, and it turns out identity used for negative things, I often hear the story

Header really seems to from AWS Coinbase. I also got one and reported for spam. Because its annoying, i don't want account with them as they are closing accounts for gambling and more.

Coinbase isn't really a good service to use if you plan on using your Bitcoin for normal things. They have a well known reputation for spying on user accounts and have no proof they can keep your private data safe. It smacks of a partnership with 3 letter agencies, tbh.

Well I mean it is strictly against their terms of service... I don't see why they wouldn't close your account?

Just received an email, which seems to be from coinbase.com, according to the header.
But... where did they get my e-mail from? Do they do harvesting?
