I guess this a new type of scam from these spammers. The email was of course in the quarantine summary I received. But, I decided to post it just in case people who have no clue might click on the link they provide and get scammed.
Attached below are the contents of the email.

Thanks Meera. I just got such an email from the Who's Who people and it smelled funny. Your blog was just what I needed to convince me that my instincts are right. As a rule of thumb, don't expect something when you've invested nothing.
