Blockchain.info scammed me?

Reading your post is really alarming. This is why using electrum or using cold storage with trezor is often recommended.

blockchain.info and freewallet for that matter have been pretty sketchy as of late...

guyz, protect your keyz

Dang... I hope you get your money, if not, they are truely criminals.

I kinda suspect them of having "locked" an old wallet of mine, I've tried all password combinations I could've had but for some reason when trying to login with that particulair wallet ID, the whole UI doesn't seem to respond after 2 tries, whilst with other wallets that never happens.

Blockchain,info cannot scam you since you are just using it to access your wallet.

It actually is his Key. I think it's a misconception on your end that "Blockchain.com" can access your Wallet and do what they want. They can't. It's not like Coinbase where as they can just freeze your Wallet.
Blockchain is legit I have 1000's of dollars in my wallet never had issues.
People in the thread have to realise that you can choose options on Blockchains which causes you to lose the private keys to those coins. That goes for the interest function on there, you won't own the coins then.

Exactly.

It's been 5 days that the money is "in my wallet" but it don't let me use it. Still no support response....

Use another wallet (safe one) with the private keys and see if you can send it with that wallet. Blockchain is absolutely horrible even when you own 100% of the private keys. It's slow, doesn't update, won't send the payments etc.
If they actually are in your wallet right now but you can't send it due to blockchain messing something up, then adding that "seed" to another wallet could change it.

Be very careful, do not show anyone your keys and make sure everything is safe and tested before doing it. Wouldn't want anyone to lose money.

Exactly!
You might have a wallet on e.g. Blockchain where you own your keys BUT you've enabled interest/exchange, by then blockchain controls the keys to make sure everything is handled properly. By then, they could do whatever they want with the money.
They probably scammed me, cannot take this long to give my crypto back.

Have you tried contacting them again ?

BlockChain Quote: Please note that each transfer made into your Interest Account is subject to a 7-day initial hold period, so funds can only be withdrawn after 7 days have passed.

Highly doubt that they scammed you, send a ticket to them.

Same I am using this exact interest service. I have no need at the moment to withdraw my funds but I do wish to find out the outcome of your situation.
All the best.
It's alarming to see the number of people using Blockchains features and handing over their keys and money to them. I'd highly advise against using Blockchain for any higher amount than $1000. They have slow support, they are non-reliable, they have outdated wallets, their APY is bad.

A 4.4% interest rate is not great, there are tons of other services out there that will give you much better deals. Stay away from Blockchain at all cost!
