Topic: coinbase phishing alert - page 2. (Read 2043 times)

It must be multiple sources, as i have never registered with that mail at Coinbase nor "Bitcointalk, Localbitcoins and Kraken" as suggested in the other thread.
And i dont even know what BTCJam is.

Whatever the connection is it came from BTCJam's email DB not Coinbase's; the email I got it at was only used there.

Yep, I also got this email. I am done with Coinbase either way now.

If Coinbase did get hacked, they should address on their blog or send a mass email warning all their userbase immediately.

That said, if you've been using Coinbase, you most likely have 2 Factor Authentication involved for any transactions, so any fool that falls for this, kinda deserves it.

2FA man, 2FA!  No one blindly sends money to an address or QR code without 2FA!!!

Just got the email myself. Reaction went from greed   to skepticism   to google in seconds.

Looks like no one has fallen for it yet:

The balance is 0.

And I used to trust coinbase's security.
Now the question is will coinbase honor the btc from the victims that will fall for this.......I think not.

Hmm i'm signed up at coinbase but i didn't get this email, hope no serious info was leaked from database..probably just emails even if that.
It even may be insider job

I just received the exact same email as well.  I sent ALL of my bitcoins - am I doing it right? /s

Yup, received this same email just now too!

Slimy bastards got a hold of Coinbase email database some how...

It is not their database that was hacked.
I use this mail for sensitive things only, but i never registered at Coinbase.

Yeah, I got the same email today and it was to an email address that I ONLY use for financial stuff, so the scammers are not sending this mails out randomly, they have hacked Coinbase's mailing list!

Nothing of the sort is posted on their website. Thanks for warning others.

Way to good to be true. Hopefully people aren't foolish enough to fall for this.

Got the same one..  "Deposits are risk-free insured by institutions such as the New York Stock Exchange."  LOL

Did CB get hacked though the sender appears to know my name..

Just received a mail.

Is this true?

10 days 150% profit ?!      

RED ALERT ?!

Definitely fake. Thanks for warning others

Looks like an email trying to look like its from coinbase, theres scripts where you can send an email to anyone while claiming to be anyone.

Got an odd e-mail from [email protected]:
