Bogus Message?

I just received this through my BBM. I am sure that it is a bogus message as the language use seems to be that of someone still in school.
I am wondering though if anyone else had received it, and if RIM would really communicate in this manner to its users.

Here is the message:
??Hello, greetings from RIM (Research In Motion) proprietors of BlackBerry. This message is to inform all of our users, that our servers have recently been really full, so we are asking for your help to fix this problem. We need our active users to re-send this message to everyone on your contact list inorder to confirm our active users that use BlackBerry Messenger, if you do not send this message to all your BlackBerry Messenger contacts then your account will remain inactive with the consequence of losing all your contacts.

We apologize for the inconvenience but this is the only way possible to resolve this problem. Sincerely Research in Motion. For more information visit:

Thanks.
I really had no intention of forwarding it to anyone. Way to "chain letter-ish".

Had to happen eventually. Chain Spam is bad enough on email but now BBM.............

I'll bet whomever first comes up with a new type of spam is very proud of themselves.
