Got an email from a person interested in an SEO related domain name, from a throwaway @gmail.com account (clue #1).

In our email exchanges to the same address, his named a couple of times (clue #2)

preston rodriguez
charles preston
charlie j preston

When asked why his his name changed, and if he currently owned any domain names, he replied, "My identity not important at this point" (clue #3 - YOU'RE OUT!)

People who play identity games are usually going to pay you with stolen credit cards or phished PayPal accounts, and the seller gets burned. Beware of this guy or anyone else who can't seem to remember their own name.

That sounds oddly familiar. I had some chap email me asking about a media domain and stuff. The patten matches what your say and I knew it was a scam so I just deleted the emails.

Unfortunately some people really do think all us domainers are that stupid.
