Someone emailed our company, wanting a quote to purchase a list of products. The products are loosely related to our industry, but we do not have them listed on our website because we do not sell them.

This is typical of purchasing-scams (which I assume would end up being the stolen credit card scam, or the overpaid wire transfer scam)--they don't even read the website to see what we have for sale because it's quicker to send the same email to hundreds of companies and waste time on a lot of research.

I Googled the phone number and it does not come up as any existing company. In fact, the only listing brought up someone's report on a "who called me" type of website called "Mr. Number", and that person had received the same email I did.

The email address, engineeringinstallation926@gmx.us, shows up on that same listing. It's important to note that the email exchange, gmx.us, is a purveyor of free email addresses akin to yahoo or gmail.

Final note is that the salutation is unusual: "Hello, Good Morning sir/ma...".

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
