I got the same message on Saturday except that:

   - it said that my contact info had been provided by Jim McDonald (not
   Jim Turner) of the British Car Club Of America
   - the sender claimed to be Peter Reinert at pt4506@gmail.com (not James
   & Denise McLean)



Although I thought the message was odd, I replied to let him know that I
thought he had been directed to me in error and that I didn't know how I
could help him. He replied within 15 minutes of my message, thanking me for
my e-mail and saying that he was interested in 50's XKs and E-Type Jaguars.



Since he was all over the map in what he was looking for, I figured he
likely a scammer using someone else's (or a fictitious) name. Based on the
fact that Michael received an almost identical e-mail, we can be sure it=E2=
=80=99s
a scam.

I?ve never heard of the British Car Club of America and the language used
is a little off.  Thoughts?
