Is this a new scam?

Just received this email. As I don't sell anything via my website I think it's a new scam.

"Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Bill Dwight from Nod-cat
Equipment Co. in South Carolina.I requesting for order of Rotavators
from your company.I would like you to email me back with the price of
models or the types you have and also let me know the payment type
you accept so that we can proceed with the order.

Regards,
Bill
Dwight."

 

[size=large]Well, apart from the awful grammar, it would just seem to be someone seeking info who has obtained your email in error.

But due to the appalling grammar, I would delete it and scan your computer for malware with SpyBot search and destroy or similar. Don't like them kind of emails! [/size]

 

I have deleted it. As I use a very secure system I have never had a problem with malware or virus, unlike Windows. Nothing can be installed unless I install it.

 

Well, if he's from South Carolina, I doubt he'd be calling it a rotovator either - they've been called 'rotor rooters' for years in North America! I had a heck of a time trying to rent one here in the UK, as nobody here had a 'rotor rooter' for hire! lol
