DO NOT RESPOND. It is a scam and has been going around for a long time. Just forward it to the Federal Trade Commission and then delete it from your email.
Federal Trade Commission

Good Luck

This comes up just about every week on this site. It's phishing and you can block them or report them as scam and they will go into your deleted section or bulk depending what e-mail system you use. Just ignore and block.
