This is very similar to current scams going on now with building supply stores. A badly written (grammar-wise) email asks for some item (usually shingles or specialty lumber) and asks for the type of payment you will accept. If you respond, they will provide a valid credit card number (it just doesn't belong to them) that will process successfully that day. If you respond and balk, they will either up their promised payment amount or tell you that they belong to a church organization buying stuff to rebuild Haiti. And they do pick up the stuff.
A few days later, your credit card processing company sends you a nice charge back notice - and tells you that the card number was stolen - and you are out the full amount.
These scams are looking for someone who will accept their stolen credit card numbers and process transactions. I don't know what your Gmail account name is, but you probably got one of these by mistake. At my workplace, our website "info" email box gets at least one a week. Just delete immediately.
