e-mails like this have been going around for YEARS. The only new thing is that somebody actually registered and posted this (a spambot?). People should know to use common sense online and not dish out such personal info to complete strangers. It's something you shouldn't do offline, and the internet's a medium that can be abused really easily, so just be careful.
