The guy claims his name is Bernard Thompson using [email protected] as his email address. I have received three emails, exactly the same wording as this one, from completely different email addresses and different names.

Quite clearly a scam.

I got the same email.  Sounded fishy.  Glad I got to this page.  The name he used was Larry Moore [email protected]

So weird!  I had the same experience but the name was Phillips Cole and email address [email protected]. The first email seemed legit:

"hello i will like to know if the posted ad is still up for
sale???please send more pictures if you can.! "

So, I responded with additional photos and then I got the same message everyone has copied above:

I don't see what they could do with my only my name, address and phone number but it looked and sounded suspicious to me. Thankfully I found this site. There are some weird scams out there - and as awesome as the internet is, you can never be too careful.  

Everyone, thanks for posting!

My exact experience.  I also thought the first email may be legit...

"hello i will like to know if the posted ad is still up for
sale???please send more pictures if you can.! "

Insted of sending additional pics, I responded to the email thanking them for looking and asking if there were any specific pictures I could send.  The response was the same as everyone elses here...
