He only mentions the item in the subject line, the rest is a generic scamming email:

regarding your advert..if still interested in buying..As soon as i
hear from you,i will email you some pics and Details,good price is accepted..
For details. Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

Greetings from Spain

It's a shame, I always liked the name Joaquin.

I received exactly the same, sadly I had already sorted myself so couldn't take him up on his kind offer.

Yep just got it too, strangely regarding a wanted ad posted weeks ago.

Seems like a nice guy and how convenient he has all the things we want to buy.
