Strangers offer for My Car

I live on a cul de sac with very little traffic. Power washing my driveway yesterday with the garage doors open. I see a car drive by with two guys. The car stops at the drive way and the dude approaches me. He offers his hand and asks if I want to sell my Porche. I tell him that every thing has a price and I will pull it out so he can take a look.
He doesn't seem to know much about the brand, talks about his California cousins drive these cars so he want one also. He says they buy them all the time and pull out his phone to show some examples. The pictures are linked to Classic Cars Beverly Hills.

This is the second time this has happened in 4 months, different guys.

I am on some mailing lists evidently and receive offers to buy my car. Nothing targeted to me specifically but general glossy adverts for classic car buyers.

What do yall think is going on here? Are there mailing lists with classic cars that these guys are accessing in hopes of scoring a car to flip?

He took my number after I gave him a price and said he would talk to his cousin. He texted me about 20 minutes with and with an offer 10k less than my asking price. I said no and I had his number and would call him if needed.

Anyone else with this experience or knowledge of this business practice.
