Hello,
Your site is under an attack and will be for this entire month. You have a
flaw in your network that allows this to take place.
You can ignore this email and try to keep your site up, which will cost you
tens of thousands of dollars in lost customers, or you can send us $10k bank
wire to make sure that your site experiences no problems + we will give you
our protection for a year.
If you don't believe us, you may pay us $1000 each month by E-gold, and we
will protect you all the time while you will paying us.
Thanks
Regards, Tony Martino
