WTF is with the Facebook "You must send this e-mail" posting?

Gotta be a scam, right? It has every marking of a total PayPal-ish scam.

For those of you not aware, here is the text of the message. If you get it, PLEASE...do some research. Can this possibly be real? If FB is tracking you anyway, they know whether or not you're logging in. An e-mail will mean NOTHING. Anyone know any more about this?

We all know that Facebook is an extraordinary social network where you can talk to friends, find old friends, and so much more.
The Facebook team is well aware that Facebook is getting over populated due to the fact that registrations have increased 50% since February 15 2008. At their signing in database, it shows that more than a quarter of the members of Facebook havn't logged into their accounts in over a month.
So where is this leading to you may ask. Facebook is clearing their entire data base and deleting users who have not sent this message to their friends. If you are one of the these people, you will get your user account wiped and would have to re add all your friends. So send this message to as many of your friends as you can, I know you don't want to start all over from scratch so send away, show your pride for members Facebook!

I remember it with ICQ and Hotmail and MSN and MySpace. It's stupid.
