This message was sent to a number of posted sellers in the Buy/Sell page. It looks similar to spam emails broadcast by Nigerian scammers that start out with something like this: "...someone died leaving millions in some foreign bank, and they need your help getting it out of the country..."
This is verbatim as it was sent to me...
