The email went on to explain the mechanics of how the email recipient could receive 1,000 of the virtual currency, Ripple, for free. The recipients were those who had earlier signed up at the Ripple web site to get further information on the virtual currency. The ripple is currently trading for approximately 3.3 cents. It is believed tens of thousands have received the emails.
The virtual currency Ripple was created and launched by OpenCoin and has Google Ventures among its investors.
