No but this definitely sounds like a scam. Even if the name is one you know well, assume that it's a scam until you double check with the supposed sender.

You might want to report this to your server.... Scams and fraud are running rampant. Be sure to delete it and do not reply....

Happened to me that way on Facebook. Teenage friends of my daughters got mail that I was in England and has lost my money, could they Western Union some to me and I'd pay them when I got back. Now these kids know I'd go to my family and parents before I'd ever write them, so they called me to let me know. Canceled Facebook and will never go on another social network again.

I got the same one.
It is a scam!
Block the address by putting it in your spam or junk mail.
Report the sender if possible.
That is what I did.
