I've just received a couple of emails from 'coinbase'

⚠ URGENT: Coinbase hacked. We just sent you a request to pay 999999.99999999 BTC (worth $489,951,999.99 USD) using Coinbase.

Click here to create an account and complete this payment

Kind regards,
The Coinbase Team


Any ideas?
There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.
