"Get the hell out of my life - F U" a new way to hook one into a scam and/or malware [View all]

Full spam email with some parts redacted for security:

Hi (first part of my email address),

I just wanna tell you that you suck. I will never forgive you for what you did to me, you piece of crap. ASSHOLE! Do not you dare to talk to me again. Believe me, you don't wanna see my other side, ask your goddamn sister, she has seen it.

F U,
T.B

*end of excerpt*

1- I have no idea who this "person" is.
2- Never seen this email address before, and it's probably spoofed at that.
3- I don't even have a sister LOL

My theory is the spam/malware authors are getting desperate to resort to this tactic. I'm sure they will get some people to respond.
