I got this email through the website.
Read it please and tell me what you think? Most emails like this sound like spam, but it couldn't have been a mass mailing because it came through my website contact form.
However I do not know how to respond in order to find out if it is ligit? If this is for real I wouldn't want to insult him.
I DO have wholesale setup on my webpage.
Did anyone else here get this email?
I think it PROBABLY IS A SCAM.

Probably SCAM.... I have gotten similar... Funny thing is I don't have a website with any glass on it and I dont sell wholesale, and a very limited retail....

I would not even waste my time with replay....

DON"T GO NEAR IT!!! It's just like those that have warning posted in the bank - if you get email from (Africa, Europe, Asia) stating they work with a bank and there's millions in it for you....it will end up with you losing $ and potential identity theft.
