It is a scam, do not send Bitcoins to that address. Blockchain.info is not running any sort of investment service.

If you have the ask if it's a scam, it's a scam. This usually applies specially within the Bitcoin world. If you recieve a random email out of nowhere, it's a scam 100%. No one goes around sending emails in masse asking for money. If you were in some sort of newsletter, then it maybe could make more sense, but mails out of the blue are always spam.

Never receive an email like that better to stay away from that email.. there's no investment site or offer are legit all of them are scam there's no free in the internet all of them need to work hard..

I have received email was like that, but i am sure it is scam. It was like coinbase couple months ago there were email sent to me.

Its almost something believable, look at the email used to send to you.
But then if they do run such program, we'd all know as someone here in the forum would have posted it the first before you even receive an email. Sure its a scam!

Yep it's a 100℅ scam don't send funds to that address.
But I don't know how did he got that email. ???

150% return for a ten day period? That's a fucking fantastic deal. That's, like, way better than a bank or a financial adviser. Why doesn't anyone offer this shit to me? It's not FAIR.

thanks all, now im sure that email is scam.
i dont know why got this email, i think its come from hyip program.

In a twisted way every email of this type is an extra stamp of legitimacy, right?

Scam alert!
That is an obvious scam! Send some bitcoins to those guys and you will never see them again.
I don't know how can these guys make money on this...

Real companies would never send such emails. Just look the raw html code, it shows the html code with the title as the real blockchain, but it will lead you to a phising site, then u login and your btc will be stolen. Do not even read tjose email, ignore the sender and delete the mail.

Wow. Look at that email address. That looks official enough, but that's where it ends. They sound like they're trying to run a Ponzi but I guarantee it's worse than a Ponzi because no investor will get anything back! They should have been a little smarter about their obvious scam.


Edit: Hahaha it's risk free because it's insured through the New York Stock Exchange. HAHAHA what the hell does that even mean?! NYSE won't insure your investments hahaha if you invest in some crappy business and it fails you're shit out of luck. Only a complete moron would fall for this. Also their grammatical errors all over the place are really obviousl. It's some non-English speaking moron scammer with a 3rd grade education.

The email address can easily be faked, just search on google "email spoofer" and you will find many tools to fake your email address, but when you look at the raw hml code from the email then you see that it is fake, also there is displayed a warning that says it is possible that it is faked.

Considering they're saying that they'll multiply your Bitcoin by roughly 50% (based on their example, not sure if that's what they intend to do), I would think that is a scam. They don't look for enough details about your investors, and it seems that they would just look at the numbers and send your Bitcoin back in some form.

I would pass on this, if they had a website and more info then maybe I'd investigate it more.

Kind of random to receive spam relating to bitcoin,do you maybe have some aspect connected to bitcoin in your email address,no need to answer here but if you do I would look into changing it so you are not phished in this manner.
I set up multiple emails for different accounts so I can track where a lot of my issues through email are stemming from.

I didn't receive such email as well. so from now on I will advertise my email address anywhere here in the forum and post that I'm an early adopter and have lots of BTCs on my wallet.
I you do wanna receive offers like this in the future, try this too.

it is obviously a Scam because if it was legit they would have given a link to their website and/or blog post talking about the same thing.
it is just an spoofed email sent to you by a scammer trying to get some donation!

Hover over the email address, you'll see it's a scam/phishing attempt. I can see it's from blockchain.lnfo, it's L not i.

These are the same with paypal phishing attempts. Be careful with these.

To prevent this from happening, just setup 2FA so they can not login even though they have your password. Sesion hijacking would be possible though, but still a little risk.

Your right once I got an email get 1m$ in PayPal account by signing in with PayPal account as after paying 20$ 100% is a scam

Lol I hope you didn't send them anything. I think it's safe to say that any emails coming from companies you've never heard of asking you to send them money or anything else can be regarded as scam by default. No respectable company will ever ask for money on the very first introductory email.

haha no dude i ddnt send them anything. just want to share and get info for that f*cking email :D LOL
I hope with this thread many people are not fooled. 

that's just a spam email and the sender want to make sure his victim to send the btc to the address by generating a vanitygen address which have "block" words on first 5 characters,such a dumb way

Good that you didn't but you'd be surprised by how many people actually fall for blatant scams like these (probably a lot of kids among these). It's a no risks/ no work scam that can actually work, all the scammers have to do is make the email look as legit as possible and send to as many email addresses as they can. Out of 100,000 emails sent, even if they get 1 BTC, it's still money for nothing .

These phishing scams are getting very good at hiding the true source of the emails and the websites.... The good thing is, it gets reported very quickly and people respond to this on public bitcoin

related platforms. Banks and other kind of financial services suffer from the same challenges, so this is not unique to Bitcoin. This is why centralized services will always be at risk... The Bitcoin

protocol will never send out emails to specific individuals... but people will try to do this from other services linked to the Blockchain. {payment processors and online wallet providers and exchanges} 

Wow these scammers are relentless. Anyways, it's obvious that this is a scam because professional investments don't just ask you to send money and all. And if you're smart enough, you'll have to ask first with necessary information e.g. the details of the investment/program, where it is based and/or who owns it.

What a pretty smart scammer, how could they use that address "noreply@blockchain.info".
By the way, why'd you cover that bitcoin address?

Sounds like a scam.
Is there any chance you could PM me the bitcoin address they sent so that I can run a search on it?
Another ponzi scheme, you may profit from it, but probably not!

Completely scam anybody could send email like that with little knowledge never trust email from noreply@anysite as those are just like headers not the actual sending email. Be safe and don't send any coin to those address you got in email.

This type of email often sent to spam folder because the inbox will reject it, however this type of service is a ponzi site and they will not pay you eventually.
