I was hit with an identical email today and googled all over to see if it was a scam. I didn't get any hits because the name was different on mine. I thought it was suspicious because the from email address and the address actually mailed from were different. It looks like the address actually mailed from was out of India. Beware! I did contact them back and ask about insurance and to see a contract. They simply said insurance was provided and to send my information quickly. It was a fast response too, within an hour. It was a little early in the morning I believe over in England to respond that fast.

Here is the email I received...
