known scam.
recently I got a bit different version of this kind of scam:
Quote:
We are Anonymous hackers group.
Your site XXXXXXXXXXX will be DDoS-ed starting in 36 hours if you don't pay only 0.05 Bitcoins @ 19XexueXgtbmLeXkSheaswBtpVbZLZmybA
Users will not be able to access sites host with you at all.
If you don't pay in next 36 hours, attack will start, your service going down permanently. Price to stop will increase to 1 BTC and will go up 1 BTC for every day of attack.
If you report this to media and try to get some free publicity by using our name, instead of paying, attack will start permanently and will last for a long time.
This is not a joke. Our attacks are extremely powerful - over 1 Tb per second. No cheap protection will help.
Prevent it all with just 0.05 BTC @ 19XexueXgtbmLeXkSheaswBtpVbZLZmybA
Do not reply, we will not read. Pay and we will know its you. AND YOU WILL NEVER AGAIN HEAR FROM US!
Bitcoin is anonymous, nobody will ever know you cooperated.

the site they wanted to DDOS was offline for many months (domain expired)
