I got the same exact message several days ago. I wonder what they get from emailing us? I don't get it.

It is an elaborate scam that leads to them trying to transfer money back and forth in a way that rips you off in the end. I almost fell for a more articulate one a few months ago--even went as far as to cite the paintings they wanted. :P
