I got one of these today. It was sent to my BTC-E email address. (I have my own domain, so I sign up with every service under a different email address.)

I wonder how they got hold of that?

Very clever!
This would make the origin of the problem pretty much clear. On the other hand, while BTCe is a bit shady, I cannot explain how the connection to the mails being sent through coinbase servers can be drawn…

I don't have account on BTCe or Coinbase. Still I received the phishing email.
In the email, they're not using my BitcoinTalk forum username, so I'm sure they got my email address from somewhere else. From where, that's beyond my understanding.

They're giving unique deposit address to everyone. They gave me 1MFqqNRtRHKfuejDR1wF8BkkmUaGypXc8L which is different from what someone else has posted earlier in this thread.
This makes it difficut to taint a single address as scam.
