I think that is a scam. Maybe their motive is to know if the email their sending has bitcoin in coinbase so they can hack it. My advise is don't bother to enter any information to them even to log in with their links.

I know I can send bitcoins to someone from coinbase having just their e-mail. Perhaps someone can send a request in the same way.

Hi All,
I received the same email just under an hour ago.
Have deleted it as I don't use Coinbase as, at the time I signed up, they only accepted US Bank account details.
However the email had my full name on it so they must have hacked the site to obtain this information.
Have deleted the email.
Cheers
KW

It appears the Coinbase customer name/email address data is now in the wild:

What I want to know is where the hackers got the email addresses from. The links are legit, they're originating from Coinbase but some users here don't even have an account so it has to be a leak from somewhere else. Gox database maybe?

I received 3 payment requests similar to you guys from mailinator. I talked to support and they said somehow they got our email and just can use that to send requests. Just decline the requests and no harm done. When I first logged in i was a little nervous but no big deal they spammed out coinbase like they would your email
