Strange IM Today

I just got one of the most unusual IMs I’ve ever received. I know there are bots out there, but in this economy, this one communicates a message that makes you a little uneasy.

RecycledCoho (4:58 PM):
This is an automated message, which your employer has chosen to distribute via Coho bot. You have been laid off. Do not come to work in the future, as you are no longer employed.

Anyone else receive a message like this? I actually IM’d the screenname back and it comes back and tells me it is some guy named Jose. I don’t know if it’s a bot or this RecycledCoho is actually some kind of thing that relays between random screennames and this guy and I just happened to get linked somehow. Random!
