Thanks for your response, this indeed seems to be correct because just found out this is indeedly a scam. My suspicion that the response mail seemed too generic seemed to be correct because after copying and pasting some of the contents into google, i found some links to dutch, belgian and even german forums of persons being contacted in the same way under different names, emails and even addresses. The way you described how the scam works is indeed exactly how people on these forums have described it. Now it sort of comes clear to me why the first contact came from a generic number, these person(s) probably have some automated scripts running that automatically scans these classifieds websites and contact people through this number, which is probably a paid for service number for bulk messages. Thanks again for your response.
