Kawal, this is a scam, run and don’t walk and get away from it.;). They find your email addresses from things like this mailing list. All mailing lists are indexed and can be scraped for email address by bots or even by hand and they send you these mails. It’s called fishing, similar to the

Re: How does one get to know your e-mail address?

Kawal, This is phishing. Its a common ploy to steal one's information. Its also how the scumbugs plant their tools in one's computer so they can take it hostage and demand a ransom. The best defense is simply to be extremely skeptical. And delete these emails permanently as soon as you
