50 units of gift basket with chocolate,cookies,biscuit ,maple each basket @ $80 per basket.

Eric, I think your spam radar is correct

Had you replied that you could fill the order, the next email you got would have went something like this: I will send you a check in US currency. The check will be for $(a few hundred over your price). Please cash the check and send me the difference and keep an extra $100 for your service fee.

When you go to the bank to cash the check you would have found the check to be a fake. Don't reply to any more of his emails. It's a scam. I hate scammers!

I got that one as well . Only it was worded a little differently .Must be one heck of an anniversary . I have replied to a couple of these saying you can drain my bank account , as long as you take my debt as well !

I've had many other scams over the years, but have not gotten this one yet. I'll check my junk mail folder, maybe it is there.

I had one where they wanted me to use their shipper and listed his phone number. I assume they wanted me to send money for shipping.

That one was one of the better spam I have received over the past year. I had to reread it vs the usual first couple words give it away. I'll bet more than one maple producer tried to respond.
