I got that email a week or two ago. I clicked on the site they directed me to and nothing came up. Afterward, my wife told me this was a scam so I replied to the original email and threatened them that if they (whoever is doing this) screw up my computer or steal my personal info I have friends who can and will track them down. Now I hope I wasn't given a virus or worse still, have had my identitiy stolen.
Regards,
