These kind of hoax's are allways going around, don't pay attention to them ..

Soon I saw a whole bunch of ">" I know its a joke.

yes. a big hoax.
grammars terrible.

It's just spam delete it, if you recieve any more make a filter to filter the sender so the mail goes in the trash, if you recieve any more like this just click on report spam and send it to your trash box.

They are always rubbish and sometimes they have dodgy stuff in the attach file.

There's no thing as "only x names left", you have tons of possible names you can choose and they will never all be used.
Another thing is that they will never send a mail to everyone if they were going to close, they would use other channels for this. There's a reason they have a place on their site for the press .
And a third thing is that they wouldn't stop right after they changed the name of the product and are beta testing a new version .

it's really a joke
