I always treat this type (below) as potentially dangerous, so report and block them, but I wonder if some actually are genuine sales attempts, despite the naivety:

Hi,

This is Jim from Xiamen Oready Industry & Trade Co., Ltd.I got your email address from your website.

I browsed your website and found that we may have the bags & pouch you interest. Our company is specializing in bags manufacturing over 12 years. We hope to be your partner! If you are interested,

the e-catalogue will be provided.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Jim

Xiamen Oready Industry & Trade Co., Ltd

…

So I looked up the name, independently, and yes, it does exist, making various back-packs, school bags and so on. I think such companies are looking for retailers, hence the blanket web-site assumption and terse salutation without name; but how it finds individual e-post addresses is another matter…..

I still reported, blocked and deleted Jim. Oh, and “Co. Ltd.”… Do Chinese businesses really use that classification at home?
