What kind of scam is this?

Some days ago, I received a request for one of my domains and the email went like this:

Hello,

I would like to purchase your domain example.com (domain name
only, not any site or content).

If you are interested in selling please provide an asking price or we
can submit an offer if you prefer.

Thank you,

I politely replied a price, but didn't receive any answer. I thought it was a serious request until today, I received another request for another domain with the same exact wording!
I'm aware of the "appraisals" scam, but these guys don't even mention an appraisal, so I wonder what is their trick...

I got one, too, but I haven't replied yet.
Nice to know it's a fake.

Were they on TDNAM recent wins? I got one (since deleted) that was on a TDNAM that I responded to, only to think better of it after the fact.

Not necessarily a scam .It could be some domainer sending lots of e-mails hoping to find a bargain (or a steal !).

Scam

"domain name only, not any site or content"

A domainer would never say that.

I got the same email for my Casino.rw and never received a reply after I asked them to make an offer. :td:
