I've received identical replies for my car ad - are they scammers?

When someone wants to send you a message about your car ad, the reply box that pops up has a default message already showing:

This means you may receive more than one message that looks identical to the above, if the person chooses not to personalise it.

If someone is interested in your item but are too busy to contact you they can "Request a callback" from you. This is another type of inquiry message for those who prefer to talk over the phone.
