do what i did:
add a filter of blockchain.info 's real email address which sends you Emails to your Email, so that every email from them would go inside a specific folder.
this way the real ones will be in that folder and every other scam and stuff will be inside your Inbox.
to double check always check the address in the address bar and the "Blockchain luxemburg" thingy beside the address

just hover your mouse over the link and check what it says ... or right-click the link and copy link location then past it in notepad and let me know the address

Yes , I'm also think that , but what I didn't understand is the link starts with secure shell (SSL) "https://blockchain.info" ?

and can anyone make a wallet on my email if he know it ?

The link text could say anything, but the actual link is in the HTML code. It could be something like this:

http://myscamsite.com/">https://blockchain.info/

but visually you would only see

https://blockchain.info/

On the other hand, if the email is legit, then that means that someone else created a Blockchain.info wallet using your email. Nothing bad happens in that case, and would most probably be a mistake (for example, if you are John Smith and they are Jerry Smith, and they use [email protected] for registration)

Thanks for your explain , now I understand that ,, but I think I have email verification security before accessing my wallets , but actually I can't verify that , because I don't want to access my wallet from any untrusted vpn or other connection , I want to keep my ID secret also , is there anyway to know if that security method is included in the wallet (I mean Email Verification)?

and Important question please I asked in the second part of 1'st post , I want to store 2 BTC in wallet , I heard that offline wallets are more secure , and I can store/backup wallet to USB Flash Memory , please can help with simple instructions Roll Eyes

Going directly to the supposed Blockchain.info wallet says it's invalid, so most probably is somebody else impersonating Blockchain.info.

Don't click the links.

Last Hour , I received 3 email from "mail.blockchain.info" , Subject : "Welcome To My Wallet" , off course It's 1 ticket message (no-reply)

The Content of the emails are :

Code:

Welcome To My Wallet

This email contains important information about your new bitcoin wallet. Be sure to keep this safe and stored separately from your password.
Login Link: https://blockchain.info/wallet/a19e2521-b4b4-49a6-96c5-4aae2cd4dea4

Alias: jack29501
Notifications: Notifications Are Disabled
Confirmation Code: 3F25E
Verification Link:

https://blockchain.info/wallet/verify-email?token=OAHXDOI47S0aF2OSYubI4unuxgbAvZXIfPAkO4sy61%2FFzDf5Dnxuf9zmUWuCf2p36MzPU2VVBqvw8oZF28fub%2BqT32Yhzvx7ZEC7guUtMjUJMOejDvnka1gsdQv5y7zYyhwq6v%2FBco4IER%2BozbRabA%3D%3D

And the next 2 the same way ,

I want to know why these emails are sent to me ?! And What Happened if I activate it (I didn't do that , but just a question) ?

I'm gonna to change all my wallet passwords just for security , but is that important for cases like this ?

And Can Anyone access my wallet , if he know the password + wallet ID suppose I he must verify the wallet from email ?

Another question please ,

I heard that offline wallet is better than online wallet , and I heard also that I can save my wallet on USB , How that process done ?

And what must I save / backup to recover the wallet later ? and if I lose the USB , I loose everthing , OR if something happened to my USB like damaged ?

And another important question , from where the wallet were generated , blockchain or coinbase or ...

Thanks For Pre-Help Cheesy
