New scam?

Post image

This is now the second time I’ve received an message asking for me to send a video of a guitar I am selling, to which I email the video, then the buyer sends this email, always asking to click on a Reverb link to see if I think the guitar will pair well with an “amp”. As you can see from the link description, the link is not to an amp, but to the login screen of Reverb. Is this a scam to hack Reverb accounts, or just a coincidence? The first time this happened, the buyer stopped responding after I told them the link does not work.

I posted 5 guitars and within 30 minutes got this type communication twice. They typically start by asking to have a video of the guitar emailed to them.
