I posted a pistol for sale on GunsAmerica this weekend. A number of interested parties inquired about the price, condition, etc.
I responded to a couple of the more serious inquiries with details on what type of payment I accept, and how their FFL will need to exchange licenses and contact information with my local FFL. My asking price for the pistol is $615. One of the interested parties replied with the following email this morning:
Obviously, this is not someone with whom I will be doing business.
What does this person hope to gain? What's the point of sending this to me? Does this person really expect me to send my full name, address, and contact information to him?
Is there anything I should do with this email, with either GunsAmerica or some other authority?

Thanks for the mail.I am okay with the price and details of the gun.My associate in the states will issue a check of $4,500 to you in which you are to deduct the asking price of the gun plus shippment which i believe is $615 and have the remaining funds transfered to My FFL Dealer who will give you his address for the shippment.Also he will be using the funds to get my License and some other Documents to own the Gun.I am aware of the stress and hassles so i am compensating you with an additional $100 so kindly get back to me with your full name,home address and all your contact phone numbers with go ahead to send the payment and the assurance that i can trust you with the remaining funds.
