Webmaster Tool - Crawl Error

I noticed a crawl error in my webmaster tool today:

http://www.example.com/warning_this_is_english_domain_to_solve_this_problem_submit_site_in_atoall.com.html
404 (Not found)
2 pages Jan 11, 2010

what is this? am I being spammed? How do I resolve this issue?
I never recall building such a page especially that I dont add .html to the end of pages. This page does not exist on my server.

Site that is linking to this page:

URL Discovery Date
schonbergfarms.com/default.asp?mc=5&mcn=&st=30440
Jan 11, 2010
schonbergfarms.com/default.asp?mc=5&mcn=&st=30440 without the www.
Nov 28, 2009

Do I report to Google? or should I not worry about it cause there are only 2 inbound links to this page.

I noticed on the whois section of the domain name that the name server is "ns1.atoall" ...

I've seen this before in my logs (same URL) - looks simply like log spam to me, I would simply ignore it.

yep..have had the same issues and i almost lost my mind.
but thanks to jdmorgan it was explained to me that it is nothing to worry about as long as it is coming up 404 then it is not something you have control over and it is not related to you.
the spammer wants you to click on the link and submit your site to "something" and then who know what will happen.
i have ignored it and it has come and gone in my stats a few times but does no harm.....as long as it comes up 404 you are fine! and dont follow the link to its root and submit your site as this is what they want....if there is no activity from your side they will find another site to pester and trick.
