Very strange, suspicious e-mail about rakeback

[Uniqueuponhim]

I'm not really sure what to make of this, though the first paragraph screams out SCAM. Can anyone shed some light on this?
By the way, from what I can tell, the words in the to: line are Swedish for "unknown <consignee>"

subject New Poker/Rakeback deals...
I just went through my e-mail list with poker contacts and found you. I
don´t remember if we have had any contact before? But, anyhow, I thought
you should get this info too!//

However, my poker friends and I are tired of poker networks steeling
abnormal amounts of rake. We are trying to gather as many poker players
as possible, to be able to reduce the amount of rake that´s taken from
us – just for playing poker online. We can now provide ourselves with up
to 60 percent rakeback, on all the big networks, without an affiliate
taking a huge piece of your cut. The bigger we get, the better is our
chance to further decrease the rake.//

I believe that focus should be on the rakeback percent and that´s where
we´ll put in our biggest effort. Although, good support and good
information will ensure that this is, without hesitation, the best
rakeback community. And we are, of course, only cooperating with well
known and secure poker sites.

You can not share the information about this opportunity with third
parties. You may, however, inform other people about me by referring
them to me. Thus, to be able to get us the best rakeback possible, all
correspondence concerning rake have to be confidential between you and me.

I hope I have informed you properly with this e-mail. If you want to
reduce the amount of rake that you lose or have any questions, please
feel free to reply to this e-mail. Or add me on msn:
manken@heavygrinders.nu

I look forward to your involvement in reducing our rake as much as
possible. I wish you a productive poker period.

Regards

Manken

I'd be getting his affiliate IDs and reporting him to each site. It's people like him, violating the T&C, that could hurt rakeback in this business.

Agreed, most affiliate programs will boot him.
