Totally spam, do you really need to ask!?!?!
If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I've heard this one before, it's an old one that's evidently still doing the rounds. I'd just delete it and forget about it.

great this one's started coming up on e-mails too ? I get sms messages like this saying they will disconnect my connection or evil will befall me
if i dont pass this sms on to at least 10 people.
Even yahoo msnger had this sort of msg going around that they're planning to delete user accounts and if i dont pass this msg around my account would be deleted.
And the worst part ? Some people actually fell for this sh*t !
