These idiots did not even include links to the fake website. This e-mail was probably sent by a spam-bot that got screwed up. What's with the silly background? The scammer obviously doesn't know proper HTML. The block of white space at the bottom of the e-mail is caused by hidden hash buster text, a technique commonly used by spammers to fool Bayesian spam filters.

This scam is basically the Draper Investment Company Scam with the company name being the only significant difference.
