Scammer or Spammer?

Hmmm how should I reply to this spam/scam mail?

Quote:
Hello,

One of our clients is interested in buying your domain *******.org.

1. Are you interested in selling?

2, What is your initial asking price?

Sincerely,

Exclusive Domain Investments



Note to all existing clients: We have 16 cars registered to our company for our management team. As such, our insurance rates our very high. Danny Goldberg (our PR Manager) came accross an insurance search site that's saving us $50 per car/month. That's $800 month in savings. There's no charge for the search, so I suggest you check it out:

save-money-car-insurance.info
I think he just wants people to visit his site, is there anywhere I can complain and take this fraudster off his site? still haven't reply him yet.

Yeah, of course, but I mean, other than that!
For example, by asking Takwa all these things, then he can come back and pretend to be another person and be better prepared for the negotiation. I find it easier to deal with people once I know at least approximately how much they want/would settle for.
