The Home Office website also states the following, absolutely brilliant: 
[I have received a few concerned messages from as far as Australia 
related to this hoax] --- We are aware that an email message is in 
circulation purporting to notify recipients that they have committed a 
spurious offence of "Internet Perversion" in apparent contravention of 
the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, referring recipients to a 
non-existent website for further details. This is a hoax and has no 
connection whatsoever to the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 
or any other piece of legislation. Anyone receiving this spammed 
message can safely delete and ignore it.
