Coinbase

Did anyone else receive several emails from Coinbase saying you had tons of deposits?  i got about 20 emails saying I had all different confirmed deposits and when I logged in only 3 of them were there....?

Did they come "from" 1Laxo....  or 1BTCsmart.... or any other such addresses? Values of 0.00001 and less? It's just blockchain spam ads. Some will confirm, some won't.

Were you expecting all those deposits?

If not I'll be very careful...

[leex1528]

I was not expecting anything and they were all for different amounts...ranging from 2 dollars to 8 dollars...

Its actually a new way of advertising (rather spamming). They can be banned anywhere if they spam but not on Blockchain. That's why they just spam via blockchain sending many addresses small amounts (can be 1 satoshi like the BTCsmart or 1000 satoshis like Laxo Trade).  Anyways the amounts that are sent by BTCsmart are always cancelled because they don't include miners fees and the txns are put on low priority whereas the laxo trade guys txns are confirmed and they act as faucets.

I guess it worked, I opened up their site. Is this Laxo site a high investment scam site ?

The BTCsmart ones likely will never get confirmed, and such never show up on the OP's account. I believe that coinbase will send an email whenever a 0/unconfirmed transaction is sent to a user's account (there may be a minimum amount received, but I am not sure on this)

Are you sure that they are not spam?

Sounds awfully high to be spam.

I am not sure how they can be spam...they are confirmed transactions...How does one spoof a confirmed transaction?

Here are some of the TXIDs

I realize the dates are wrong on a lot of these, but how/why did I receive emails regarding these transactions?  The only time I ever receive emails from Coinbase is when money actually goes into my account...
