Any reputable Bitcoin service should use GPG-signed emails. Any unsigned email should be considered with a grain of salt.

Well that is why I knew it wasn't from theymos, but people could believe it was coinbase cause coinbase is trying to be the "gmail" to bitcoin's "SMTP". So I doubt they will ever use PGP.

Huh, both are orginally from Russia, St. Petersburg. This looks almost like a static IP/cable modem. The machine is still up right now.

Looks like someone got one here, too:

~~Two different source IPs for each of the emails.~~

Doesn't look like anyone has fallen for it yet, though:

EDIT: Whoops, read the second one wrong.
