"...To What I Think Could Be A Fake Response." I'm guessing you meant to say Fake Offer.

If it's a fake offer, the motivation is undoubtedly to defraud you or at the very least to obtain your contact information. You can conceal your (regular) contact information by replying from a special email address created for the purpose. You can foil fraud by not supplying personal information and by not agreeing to anything.
