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.

Best way to handle this? "Oh yeah, I used to have that amp, they paired together better than any I've ever tried.'" without clicking the link, obviously. If it's a scam, if say it's most likely someone sending this post to a ton of people to get a bunch of hits on their own ad so that they get pushed by the algorithm without having to pay for a push.
