recently i started getting phising emails from various well known businesses such as btc-e , minereu , and many other exchange sites.

Not sure if it is only me but is there something i am missing? I will get about 4-5 a week. Anyone else having this same problem?

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

I would say that it is likely that someone somehow found out that your email address is somehow linked to someone who has some level of bitcoin. This person probably sold your email as part of a larger list and people are trying to steal your bitcoin.

My advice is to simply ignore and delete these emails.

There's been so many bitcoin site hacks over the years that if you've been in it long enough it's all but guaranteed you have an email on a list somewhere.  If you're lucky, you used a throw-away/spam only address.  MtGox and Bitstamp both had database compromises that at the very least dumped a complete list of all their users emails on multiple occasions.

Just be careful about opening attachments as usual (aka: don't do it).  I probably get about a dozen a week with .jar files attached pretending to be invoices/miner screenshots.
