Sounds like a scam,
The message is too general. Just tell them you only take a registered check, no credit Insist on payment before you send you "product". They will disappear.

One of the latest "Scams" is that they have a "business address" in the states, The business address turns out to be a front for a re-shipper. The re-shipper will claim they have no responsibility for the packages....

The poor use of the English language would be my first clue to it's illegitimacy (sp).
 
Hi Glenn....I get one of these every three weeks or so. They are not as far fetched as the Nigerian inheritance scams but still a scam. Mack is correct in that the key to determining whether these are legit or not is the mistakes in the written language. These spams are just part of being on the internet so my recommendation is to just delete them and move on. Do not reply to them. Darrell eisner
 
3 clues
poor grammer
doesnt know your website but emailed you.
doesnt know what you sell.
 
Dude, he might be related to Antonio Banderas:biggrin: Probably got tons of money and needs pens. But that's my pipe dream and I'm sticking to it.
 
rofl @ Ernie!!!

I think he is Phishing. Just opening the email might have put you at risk. replying to it would likely give him more info than you want him to have.

Consider any and all such emails as phishing....Do not reply. That particular one probably came from outside the USA but you will see similar scams from here. They are usually looking for personal information if you give them a chance to steal from you so much the better.
