Title: Coinbase - Account Creation Email Spam
Post by: BTCforJoe on July 16, 2017, 03:05:47 PM
Starting yesterday, I've been receiving emails from coinbase to verify my account, and they are coming in by the minute. I have 100+ emails with the same information, and they just won't stop coming in.

Even as I type this, I'm getting constant notifications from my mail app that I'm receiving new emails.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Coinbase, if you're reading this, what the hell is going on over there?!

Their email system is buggy these past weeks. Calling it spam is a bit radical. Especially as you have an account with them. You could just notify them about the problem so they can look into it. Until it is fixed you can create a rule to get each email deleted or moved in a folder, if you find this annoying

I haven't received any such mails and I have an account with coinbase. Receiving 100+ mails is pathetic but I guess somebody must be creating those accounts using your email ID. You can just mark the email ID as spam (if you don't want to use coinbase) and they will directly appear in your spam folder. Alert coinbase as well about this attack.
