I also got this email. Thankfully i didnt do it, because now i see it is a scam. I also checked coinbase's official twitter page, and they sent out a tweet saying that there was a scam email going around.

Think about it.
If everyone invests by sending to the same address, then how would they know who sent how much?
Exactly. If it is too good to be true, then it is not true.
Golden Rule.
Here and in the outside world.

I did not receive any such email from coinbase and the content looks fraudulent. If it was true then you could log into your coinbase account and check on the website for the investment offer. It's better to report this email to the coinbase support department to get the scammer's account frozen.

Like someone claimed he received a email from bitcointalk.org, the emails could be fade even with a true email address.
Getting a 150% profit in 10 days? who can make this happens? only the scammers.

You are wrong, no one can make this happens! Either the scammers because 150% of profit in only 10 days, it's a stupid and useless ponzi. However all we have explained it is a scam, I think it is not more necessary to write it. Isn't it?

I find it really funny that Op posted this here and was not sure whether it is real or not. But after first fast glance at this message from "coinbase" I can tell that these conditions are so surrealy insane that either coinbase went rogue and are trying to scam everyone or this is some sort of fake coinbase/scam attempt. Knowing that it is not from coinbase.com is assuring. I just hope there won't be many idiots who will fell for it.

This is NOT the Coinbase that operates www.coinbase.com.
This is at best a Ponzi scam that is using the coinbase name and email spam to trick foolish greedy people into giving away their bitcoins.
More than likely, it's just a straight up send us your bitcoins so we can immediately disappear with them scam, and not even a ponzi.
Thanks for clarification. Before I ended reading I was already thinking "obvious ponzi is obvious" and hoping it wasn't a legitimate Coinbase offer, since as far as I know I respect that brand a lot.

Hey OP remember the generous 
Nigerian Prince who wanted to give us all of his wealth and he only wanted us to send him the Bank Transaction Fee $150-$300 so that he could transfer the money to us?
This is him and he has a lot of Bitcoins now that he wants others to have.
tl;dr
This is a scam, stay away from any such offers.

I can't find anything related to it stated anywhere on the official coinbase website. Also if you happen to be at the reddit subforum, there is already an on-going discussion warning users against clicking any link to leads you the investment site. It's a clear cut example of a possible scam.

Coinbase will become a target now, as they grow bigger and bigger... there are already people claiming that their accounts have been hacked.

There are also some disgruntled people out there, who was kicked out of Coinbase, due to it's strict application of KYC and AML and they could drive this too.
Why would they want to offer a service like this? They have enough investment capital and a steady income from it's operation.

This is scam and mail is not from Coinbase. Coinbase sent email to the clients with explanations and they denied any connection with this investment offer.
April 11, 2015, 01:53:35 AM
in my case those kind of email usualy go directly in the spam folder, and i don't even read it at all, i just delete, you should do the same next time

Bitcoin-based ventures have recently become a safe heaven for con-artists and scammers. It is impossible to educate everyone about these type of scam attempts. Obviously hundreds, if not thousands might have already lost their hard earned cash by now. 
April 11, 2015, 01:44:27 AM
It was a scam , don't invest anything. Coinbase made an official statement regarding that on their blog.
April 11, 2015, 01:08:57 AM
Scam, definitely. Somehow they stole our email addresses from some service we all registered to. Coinbase s got nothing to do with this email.
