I've been getting emails like this:
Our site has been penalized by Google because of a handful of back
links pointing to our site (we have lost 80% of our traffic). I have
opened a line of communication with their WebSpam team and am working
to clear the penalty. HOW THIS AFFECTS YOU? We have isolated the back
links causing our penalty which we need to have removed, ONE is from
your site and I need to get that link taken down asap. Heres the
thing... In order to get out of the penalty they have asked me to
submit to them all the paid or unnatural links which are currently
pointing to our site and in the next 30 days I will be submitting to
them this list and unfortunately your site is included. HOW TO AVOID
NEGATIVE ACTION FROM GOOGLE If you can take the links down to hisdomain.com then of course I will be able to leave your site off that list. I really don't want to be the cause of a penalty to you, nor report anyone else's website to Google hence I'm reaching out to you now, and if you can get that link taken down ASAP then of course I won't include your site when I report back to them!
Do Google request such lists and can this cause a problem for my SEO? (of-course I have no idea who this is and have never sold a link to him or anyone else for that matter on my site, it's just User-Generated-Content)

Smells like bull doody to me.
A handful of links will not cause your site to be penalized by Google.
When you have the ability to disavow the links it makes it even more suspicious.
Google doesn't ask anyone for lists of unnatural links. The aforementioned disavow tool handles that automatically.
You've been getting multiple emails? Sounds like a persistent scammer to me.
