They wanted to make an offer for the most expensive item listed in my shop.
It came form a brand new etsy account created that same day and they wanted to arrange someone to pick up my item..I am in France and the chances of them being in France too are slim.
I am always suspicious of contact that veers from the norm, so there was never any risk of falling for this one.
The thing that puzzles me is this, this person was keen that I email back my reply, but is there any more information that I'm inadvertantly giving away had I done so?
Here is the actual convo, sent on Christmas day: Check out the account name
