What do you think of this email?

Hi,

Has somebody else received such an email (below)?
The reply address is "BONTech Consulting <[email protected]>"
Seems a little suspicious to me... What do you think?

=====================

Hello,

Your domain was listed for sale.

Please don't ask to make an offer. Just send an email with your quote in US dollars for the name mentioned in the subject line.

Our company is working on custom software and hardware projects for several large corporation. Domain names is not our business but a new way to earn on reselling. We are going to buy domains to resell them at higher prices since we have a large database of clients interested in good domains.

Looking forward to do business with you.

Regards,

Spam, just delete it.

Seen many like this, you will agree on a price and then they will ask you to get it "apprasied" by some dodgy company

I get hundreds of these every week. Junk, Scam, Spammers

yeah i got the exact same thing. Except it didnt say "dotn ask for offers", just said please send in your asking price so we can make payments for the domain in question.
I checked the email and found the server to be a hosting for domains etc.
