Good question Michael.

It looks like this is some sort of scam or something, ISTR seeing it before.

What is interesting though is the source, here is the relavant bit:

It looks like yahoo web mail got it from an IP  82.206.136.83
 which is in the range used by Uk-INTELSAT-20031126 ie a Satellite comms 
address. Hmmmm
