This one is just plain silly. Aimed at criminals, and unlikely to worry any of them.

Here is another message that sounds quite similar. I received it after telling off a over seas rental scammer:

I am a police officer to combat international Cyber Crime, I received
information that you are a fraud, we have ample evidence of your
crime, you risk arrest and prison term of 15 years! I want to help you
solve this problem! Tell me you want to jail? We cooperate with the
police throughout the world, do not try to hide, you will still be
arrested!

Could they have at least tried to make it look official? Maybe use proper grammar?
So who are these guys?

He's probably the same scammer you told off. If he didn't ask for any money, He's just trying to frighten you.
Considering that English is his second language, it's not bad. Better than my Yoruba, anyway. :)
