presumed fraud attemt? Did you read what I just post, or do you read what you want to read? Jesus...So, someone is pretending to be from blockchain.info sending fake emails looking almost the same, only difference is in .info-->.lnfo with "king regards blockchain sa" asking for bitcoins and you are asking for proofs.

[Vika NSFW]

.So, someone is pretending to be from blockchain.info

 and you are asking for proofs.

Show me "Beginners" who have such money to send in a so lucrative investment, based only on email.

I think there should be no evidence, because there may be a large company like blockchain.info have multiple e-mail. And email has become a joke for me, blockchain.info not blockchain.lnfo thats (L) dude not (i). So do not bother to look for evidence..

Plus tons of threads like this in bitcointalk.org
one of them https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1544768.0

You think I am a Sr Member and don't have enough experience to know there are account sales?
There are obviously sles, but why put it down as a warning? Why not promote it on a self-moderated topic, then he can delete the posts where people call him a scammer!
Calling him a spammer is a little extreme for his contribution to the forum do ou not feel (DO NOT MAKE ACCUSATIONS WITHOUT EVIDENCE)?

I'm a newbie but I'm not fool to send them a btc for that.  But thank you for the warning this was helpful.

[pooya87]

don't listen to the bullshit some of the users say here. this is an obvious scam. first of all there is no such program going on with blockchain.info and even if there were they wouldn't have asked for payment to the bitcoin address, instead they would have asked you to go to their official site and sign up.

secondly the email can either be from an alternative name similar to blockchain.info like using another letter in the middle eg L instead of i or it can be an spoofed email from the same domain name.

[Vika NSFW]

but I'm not fool to send them a btc for that.

What is the greatest % that You will believe?
