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's phising I think. Be careful with thise kinds of emails, they could get your credential if you open those and entered your details.

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?

who even falls for these . the instructions are directly telling you to give them your wallet. such a bad attempt

Hahaha, I mean look at the profile pic of the email account that was sent to him.  Looks very trustworthy to me Wink ... 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...

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!

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.

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.

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?

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

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.
