Default Questionable emails.

Has anyone been getting emails about your car. I got an email wishing a happy birthday for the wrong serial # then they asked for the right #. I also got an email from someone with my ser #. I havent listed it anywhere but here. Maybe I should remove my contact info.

I occasionally request 68 owners for info, but don't do it on a birthday thing like that. Where are they from?

I also received a birthday e-mail for my 68 coupe from the C-3 registry.
I would be cautious about giving out any info to people other than those i know to be legitimate.

I have received three emails for one I have for sale.

Only one line that said what is the VIN # on this car, and no other comment or question.

I will provide all information to a buyer who is legit, but don't answer these type emails.
