WARNING Presumably a new? clever type of HOAX email

Got this email this morning purportedly from Spamcop.com
Quote:
Dear {my email address removed}
Today 06/12/2012 we received complaints about spam coming from your network. Spam bots are sending bulk emails, for the security reasons your email will be blacklisted. To avoid blacklisting please check your Sent folder for unknown emails and prove that you are human by entering this code 5437 here. {hotlink removed}.
Your email will be recorded and spam flag will be removed. No other data will be collected.

Thank you for cooperation.

SpamCOP SBL.
Suspicious,
And quick check revealed such an organisation does exist and does blacklist suspected spam address.

But they are SPamcop.net NOT Spamcop.com

I did a search here and could not find a similar thread, so I thought I would post as warning.
