So, I was having lunch today, and I got an email alert, which turned out to be the following email exchange;
I had assigned someone to broker the name in question for me, at a lesser price than what was specified here in this email.
Amazingly, this email from the prospective purchaser seems to suggest that he is interested in the domain name at this price.
There is no definitive "purpose" for this thread, so to speak, besides just saying "wtf?".
Has this ever happened to anyone before? Should I try and deal with the prospective purchaser directly, cutting this guy out of the deal? Does this appear to be a scam of some sort on the part of "Bill"?
I've already emailed Bill asking him if I'd given him permission to broker the name.
Input, thoughts, and the like would be greatly appreciated on this matter.
Are you associated with Bill who sent the email below?
Thanks

Hello,
I have a web name, xxxx.com you may be interested in.
Since you already own xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com I thought you may be interested in owning this one as well.
This is over 10-years old and is comprised of premium seo keywords, which makes it very valuable.
My asking price is $1,430 only.
I intend to sell this soon, and have mailed several parties. If you are interested, please reply back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks,
Bill
