BlockChain.info Investments? Sounds like a scam Today I received a strange email, which looks like a scam to me. It claims to be sent from blockchain.info no-reply@blockchain.info, but being a programmer, I know that I can send email from whomever I want, so I do not trust it so much.

I formatted it a little bit, but basically this is it. Also this does not look like a ponzi scheme to me, it looks like a scam. Moreover I haven't found any information about blockchain investments on their site (but I admit I have not looked too much).

My question is: is this a real thing?
It seems obvious to me that this is a scam. No legitimate investment in the world can guarantee a rate of return of 20 percent per day. At that rate, with a 5 btc initial investment, you'd own all the bitcoins in existence after 81 days.  And after 15 months, you'd have this much.

But you may want to contact blockchain.info directly; there is a contact link at the bottom of their home page. They can confirm that this is a scam, and also announce it on their blog / Twitter feed to hopefully keep anyone from falling for it.
