This is a scam. DON'T even reply on it. If you reply on the message, the scammer will know that your email address is 'alive' meaning they can send more junk in the future. Just delete the message or mark it as spam.

Its a scam! Now that you have replied the scum know that the email address is active and they and all their scummy mates will send you loads of rubbish. Don't be gullible.
