This is actually a really old prank, originally targeted at the Dark Profits website in 2003. This is simply a prank twist of a traditional email Joe Job., designed to flood a mailbox/phone/fax with responses.
We saw a couple of different flavors of this campaign targeting different entities however all were appropriately caught.
Snopes have a great article in their archive if you’d like a refresher.
Don’t panic. Nothing to see here!
