I just received a similar proposal last night for my A3000 after the ad I put on another Amiga dedicated WEB site.
Needless to say, I immediately reported this fraud attempt to the WEBMASTER and sent a proper Email to him.
Here's his Email contents:

By the way, HIS Email address is:
alexandral_man_0009@yahoo.com
This is just to warn people to be very careful when replying to strange Email addresses and providing valuable personal informations, such as address and phone number or, perhaps, even Bank Account details.
Regards.
