I've had similar offers when I was selling one of my cars a few years ago. At that time I had saved a nasty virus attachment that was being circulated by mail bots/scammers. I renamed the file with something official sounding such as "BofA_wire_transfer_instructions" or "WF_summary_acct_info" and sent it back to the scammers informing them that my bank provided the attached document with the info they requested, and that I was anxious to complete the transaction as I needed the money. The scammers of course tried to open the document and hopefully had their computers hosed!
Never heard from them again!
