IMO:
Best to avoid this.
Unsolicited emails are a red flag.
You can always ask why she and or the one who referred her to you, are not members here.
Better yet, have them send you the coin first and upon your satisfaction with it, you can send them the money.
This actually is done a lot here on BST.

Yeah I just would not attempt to do any deal with her, after pressing her for member name she said scott512, only posted as info for other members.
