I received this via text message first, so curious I went on and e-mailed back to see what was going on because I was sure it was a scam. Anyhow, I've decided to come and post it here because Google turned up nothing on this particular e-mail scam [though it did provide similar ones] and well, someone else might get it in the future so it might help.
Here's what I got.
