This is a pretty obvious scam, but it doesn't look like anybody else has mentioned it yet.

I just received the following email from "news@coinbase.com." I've left the BTC address in because I figured maybe someone would want to sleuth it. But as should be obvious, anybody promising guaranteed "risk-free" 50% growth in 10 days is lying to you.

I've alerted Coinbase and updated my security settings with them. Here's the email:

Do not reply to this e-mail

Thanks for the heads up, I will check my e-mail address and delete that e-mail (if I will find it). It seems the scammers don't want to stop.
