Looks like identity theft to me.

This would be a heck of a lot easier to read if it wasn’t all in caps

I’m pretty sure that was just copy/pasted from the Spam email.  Unfortunately Spammers don’t want to make it that easy for you to read.  All the better to help confuse you.  Plus it (apparently) helps give an air of legitimacy and urgency.

In reality it’s just annoying.

Spam, spoof, and yes, credit card theft, bank account theft, identify theft…...........and probably more

Just fill in the form with all the data of someone you really don´t like.
Sit back. Relax. And watch what happens.

On the other hand it might be real.
And then there you are sitting relaxed watching… how your enemy is getting bloody filthy rich…

I’ve sometimes thought that we should start a database of all these e-mail addresses and telephone numbers and the likes that these scammers give out in their e-mails.  Then when we get one like this that asks for that sort of information, we can give them the personal data on one of their fellow scammers instead.  It might be interesting to see what would happen.
