Imagine I dig a dangerous deep pit in my front lawn by the sidewalk. 99 out of 100 people are going to safely avoid it. 1 in 100 fall in and get severely injured. I'm still at fault even though the injury only happens rarely. And a "rare" effect can harm a lot of people when you scale up the exposure far enough. Those scam emails also cost a lot of people time and we rightfully outlaw them. In this case, it didn't fit the modality of the common scam messages, it looks a lot more like a professional litigant trying to set the recipient up for a lawsuit.
