HOAX ;D
As you've already worked out. I think you're right, they've seen your ad and are responding to that.
Ruddy things - we get hundreds of them at work.

That's exactly what I thought it was, what with all these emails people report about people in Nigeria sending money then asking for money back or whatever, just thought it was weird lol  |

I got one from China trying to buy my bike! SO long as I accepted a cheque....er, no. I think not. Our friends who ran an inline hockey shop got a strange email from a chap in India--the shop was called 'Beez Skates' and the email began, 'Dear Mr Skates.....'  |

There's a great website somewhere where a girl has made it her mission to reply to all of these when they try to buy her horses, great reading, I'll see if I can find the site.

had quite a few of these from the Dunster's website for horses we are selling.
the english is dire and and it is a fair bet they originate from Africa / Nigeria.
