I got this today. A similar one (if not the same) went around a while back, this is worth considering. My phone has gotten hot from charging, never this hot, but it makes you think.
Here is the E-Mail:
Hi All,
>
> We had a pretty scary incident recently. Attached are pictures of what
> remains of our 2007 Suburban. We are all okay but I wanted to warn
> everyone not to make the same mistake I did.
>
> This fire resulted from leaving an Iphone charger/docking station plugged
> into the car outlet. It overheated and started a fire, while parked in our
> garage. PLEASE unplug anything you have in your car outlets once you turn
> off your car!
>
> We were VERY fortunate that we accidentally found the fire, at 11pm, before
> going to bed and before it spread to the house. None of our garage heat
> detectors or house fire alarms went off (another item to take care of on my
> to do list).
>
> Feel free to pass this along to anyone you want. Better safe than sorry.
