Over the past two months I got a couple of messages from this guy who claims to be "Vincent Newman".
I go to check today, and the latest one I got yesterday was deleted.
Was this someone deleting spam/scam stuff?

Hey Craig, this is Suzanne from the Stage 32 team. I just wanted to let you know I moved your post from Acting to Anything Goes, as it fits much better there. Let me know if you have any questions, and all the best to you!
I just got the same email through Stage32. Any word on this?
You need to report it to support@stage32.com with a link to the account.
If it shows deleted, the account was deleted. The message will still show but you won't be able to respond.
Vincent Newman’s account seems to still be active.
Like I said, please send an email with the link to support@stage32.com. thanks
I got a similar message today, a few hours ago. And now I see it looks like his account has been deleted.
Weird, he sends a message, and then it's deleted. Is it the same email? Also a very sus email address.
Agreed re: the email address. And I googled Vincent Newman and found a producer named Vincent G. Newman, if it is a scam the scammer could have taken that name. And here's the email I got today, similar to yours but a little shorter:
Screenwriter It’s great to connect. If you have a completed screenplay or a strong, well-developed concept ready to move forward, I’m open to reviewing it for potential development. Genre and budget aren’t the priority, a compelling story with real potential is what matters most. You can send your material directly to vincentnewm.n@gmail.com. I’ll review it and follow up regarding next steps. Best, Vincent Newman
Now sure what the hell any scammer is looking for with this. Maybe charging for some service (but this is a big tipoff), maybe stealing a story (?!?? what value does that have?) or some such thing.
Super weird.
