Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

Yes, it's 100% fake and please don't do what the email tells you. You will be sending your unencrypted Blockchain.info wallet to them.

Others have already said, do not do what the email says. They got your details from somewhere it seems, and at any rate people should use their common sense, when someone has a domain name of blockchain, why would they use gmail? And lastly I threw a laugh at how simply the instructions were telling you to get your own account hacked xD

Hey! I've got an email from this website. Is it fake or something?
No 'something' about it. Bad grammar and spelling, unrealistic amount, scammers aren't what they used to be.  Are you sure you want your e mail in public? |

100% scam you should never be trusting those emails. I am surprised that your email didn't actually catch it was a phishing attempt. As always, proceed with caution when using Bitcoin.

When you receive these kind of emails you should check the email that came from. In this case it is varify.blockchain.info [at]gmail.com which means it is totally fake. If they were real they could do verify@blockchain.info in this case, ignore it and stay safe. |

The more and more these fake emails are circulating every day. I guess that scammers have really stepped up their game. Not just that they are scamming on IPO, charging back payments, etc, now they started sending this crap almost daily.
People beware and be careful what you are opening and clicking. Especially with Bitcoin wallets in your computers!

Hahaha, I mean look at the profile pic of the email account that was sent to him. Looks very trustworthy to me  ... but seriously, I didn't know scammers that sent emails to people were still at large... usually they are just people who try to get loans, or some kind of payment for a good or service without doing what needs to be performed in returned. Sad that some people have the gaul to try this out on new members; I guess there will always be bad people in the world no matter where you turn... |

If you have any idea of what that export function would actually do on blockchain you would not even ask this question.
Maybe it is time to read up a little bit more before getting more invested into bitcoin?

This is scam obviously. It is like a stranger who promises you a $500 by asking you to hand over your ATM card and pin.

The red flag is "select Export"...that means you'd be sending bitcoin to someone. You don't want to do that.

It wouldn't cost the scammers anything to send out hundreds of thousands of those emails. They make profits if they get one person out of a hundred thousand to respond to them. It's little different to those email spam adverts that most users ignore. It only needs a tiny number of people to respond to make it worth while for a scammer/advertiser to compose an email and mass mail it. If we make sure nobody responds to that scam email the scammer might give up because there's no reward for him. |

If they were real they could do verify@blockchain.info in this case, ignore it and stay safe. I have seen hackers able to send fake emails with addresses looking as if they came from the original source but even then one should remember that blockchain.info will never ask you to 'verify' your account or export your keys and paste it's content as reply. This is a very stupid attempt of phishing as you can clearly see that he used gmail to make a fake blockchain.info account email which is not hard to notice but there are ones which looks almost as real but OP never give away your address keys to anyone. |
