Seems he (they?) target WTB threads, generally try and try to pass you off to another person who has what you want. Have been a feature(?!) on the local forum here. This thread recounts the response to one user's search for some rear doors for his MX5/Miata 
Giveaway is very recent registration (often same day), lack of post history.

Yup they target WTB thread, I just fell for one;
Crap; Used my personal email to respond back; I just joined the forum yesterday and as a newbie the message was too convincing and I fell for it.
The email goes along the line of:
You should communicate with [NAME], He has a NA Randall Intake for sale in Good condition... Get hold of him on (EMAIL)
[name] has a NA Randall Intake that he wants to part out for a cheaper price but because i'm not in the state right now, i couldn't purchase it from him maybe you should email him and see if he still have it for sale. Here's his email (EMAIL)
