Red face Advice needed urgently are they trying to scam me?

Hi Guy's as most of you know I'm in the game of selling mp3 and mp4 players. I recently recived a sales enquiry but I'm unsure how to deal with it exactly so I'm posting this email to see wht you guys thisnk I'm not sure but Ithink they might be trying to get me to process there order on maybe a dodgy credit card read the email and let me know what you think I should do. I have removed the email addreses of obvious reasons.

So the question is do you think they are trying to send me there credit card detail so I process it my self. And if the card is stolen it will look like I have done it.

Hi Matthew,
See address below.
xxx Sugela street.
Bombay
Post code SE5 4DG
Some Where.

I will take just 10 unit for now and sample in the store but will make bulk order later when our customers start booking for it.
Caculate altogther with postage charge, I will e-mail you with the credit card account because I can't gothrough the online order thoroughly.

Thank you.

[FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']The price of the mp4’s are $135.00 and $7.00 delivery if you purchase them via email. It is cheaper if you go online and purchase them online price is $129.00 and $5.00 delivery I have attached a picture of the link to use in case you decide to purchase it online. If you would like to pay for it via email I can send you an invoice that you pay for via credit card if you decide to do it this way I will need to know how many units you were after and your details for the delivery.[/font]

Hi Matthew,
I want the Mp4 player to be deliver to the United Kingdom, but I can see on your web site shipping to US only.

Just tell me price per unit and I will e-mail you the credit card account to charge for payment, so you may send to the United Kingdom.

Hi Grace,

My mp3 and mp4 players have been so popular I had to open a website to
handle the demand if you go to
http://www.mp4direct.org and on the front
page you will see a link for the Black hawk there you can pay by credit card
and it will be shipped the same day.

Thank you
Matthew Hastings

If he is sincere about this deal, he will use PayPal or money order or the like. I wouldn't take a CC, but in the position of a merchant, I don't think you will be on the hook if it comes back stolen... Then again, a lawyer, I'm not.
