.
Thank you,

If you provide the info they'll come back asking for more. What they may be after is bank account details etc.
It's a confidence scam. They're looking for stupid people.

When we get inquiries like that I usually just send them to a link to our web page or Facebook page. If they want more, I get lots of information from them and verify they are legitimate business in the industry.
