Feel free to point me to the right place.

My website has only a contact form that goes to my Gmail. I did set up my hosting account with the catch all email, so I get everything sent to @mydomain.com.

I have a link to my site at the bottom of my clients sites (with permission), so people can find the webmaster or hire me to make their own site.

I'm getting strange emails at my main domain, where I don't ever get email except for dmarc ones. It's sent to [email protected] and it's asking if I want to buy a .com version of my clients domain.

I imagine they found me via the link on my clients site, but why not use the contact form on my site? And the emails started by assuming I own my clients domain and have continued checking in to see if I'm interested,and just today that the price is negotiable.

I've done internet searches, trying to see what's really going on, but not finding anything. I haven't responded, the big weirdness is the 'instructions' address, which has never existed and doesn't even seem like a reasonable address to send cold contacts to. Admin, contact, support, etc make much more sense.

Just looking for if other people have experienced this and perspective on what the point might be. I know it's some sort of scam, but I guess I'm curious about what kind.
