Just keep an eye out, I got one a few days ago:

Seems legit, but it's actually a picture that links to a website.
I have not clicked on that picture, nor do I want to.


So that picture has been taken down since this morning it seems.. that's good.
It links to mail4us[dot]org
IIRC, it looks like the old verification emails blockchain used to send out before they got a new logo.

As you can see, it appears to come from a blockchain.info email address.
It listed a 7.x.x.x IP address (from Russia it says) as the IP address used to attempt to get into your account.
They also had written in red text, "You must click the link to confirm you own the account, otherwise your account will be deleted"

I've changed my wallet id for now...
Just a heads up.
 
Head's up, another round of fake emails going around:

This is the 2nd one in 10 minutes I received.
The "Confirm Login link" directs to here: http://tinyurl.com/blockchain-com-transaction

I must be on some email scam list, as I have been bombarded my Bitcoin related scams lately...
(Deposit BTC to this address and you'll get 2x your deposit back, "hidden" address for bets of bitcoin...)


Interesting how they use the same email address as legit emails from Blockchain.info :-/
