It was surely fake. The real email should not use 'gmail' anymore.
Real account only use the domain itself. And don't give your privkey to anyone you don't know.

Let's be honest for a moment, and agree that first time users of Bitcoin will fall for this. They might have heard about Bitcoin and how much it is worth and just follow the instructions to see what happens. The sender of the email wants to get hold of the ownership of the created wallet. ?
In most cases new users will have no BTC in that wallet, and if they find out after two days that there is no BTC coming their way, they will not bother to find out anything about Bitcoin.
More experienced users will never send them that information, so it will be a fruitless exercise. What do you think?

And then they forget that they sent out their private keys and forget to make a new wallet...
They start collecting bitcoin and the scammer can easily grab any coins at any time that ever go into that wallet.
More dangerous than one might think.
When i was first introduced to Bitcoin i created a Blokchain wallet
I don't know how but a hacker managed to gain entry to my wallet and stole $2 worth of Bitcoin (It isn't much but i earned that money from faucets which is hard to obtain $2)
After that i switched to Another wallet and never had any issues with hackers
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 [email protected] 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.
Well i know this trick for sending messages in behalf of original sender.
But to get the information these hackers make a 'trick' that if you click reply.
The message then will be send to another email and not from "original"
It is already a website which does this 'tick' emkei.cz
you're dreaming sir. because it is a fake email. You get 10000 bitcoin in a dream. never real
Hey! I've got an email from this website. Is it fake or something?

You'll probably received more emails and will be spammed by obvious scam attempts like that if you don't removed that pic or at least edit and blur your email on the image. I suggest you to edit this thread and remove that image
For those who said that who even fall on that obvious shit, the answer is the innocent new comers on the bitcoin world. A newbie will always fall on that since there's a "giveaway" involved
Yes this one is 100% fake and fishing email. Don't try to reply or goto any link which this type of email usually sends. Blockchain name is included on the gmail address only to make it real but all knows blockchain like site doesn't use gmail to send emails.

i ever got email that give me 5 milion dollars
i ever got email that give me 5 milion dollars
I don't know how anyone would fall into that scam 
It says there clearly says "Export unencrypted"
He wanted to steal your wallet and private keys with that
Just ignore his email or mark that email as spam
The question is how did the scammer managed to get OP email address

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.
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.
I made some really dumb mistakes when I first started learning about crypto. I didn't know how a wallet worked so used a scam online wallet to send my first faucet coins to. It happily accepted them, but unfortunately wouldn't let me withdraw them.
Noobs might be suckered by that email scam the same way I was suckered by that scam online wallet. It's easy to forget green you were when you started finding out about crypto.
Becareful about this, the hackers is use blockchain problem to scam a new comer. Even don't use online wallet for saving your bitcoin, especially blockchain wallet nowadays.
This fake email is the worst i think, it's too obviously.

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